I'm using GuitarPro 7 on Wine. I tested it for some time and it worked so great that I decided to purchese a license. However I was testing version 7.5.2 and when I downloaded newer version (it's the only version I can download officialy) which is, to be exact, 7.5.3 Build 1751, it came out being unusable. Simple tabulatures can be played using built-in RSE synthesizer, but when there are some powercords and especially on multiple tracks, the sound is extremaly choppy and after few seconds it almost stops like it was loosing all it's power
I'm using Arch Linux and i tried version 5.1 - as I see today 5.2 was released and it's already there, but it's not fixing the problem. I also tried to install it with some older versions of Wine using PlayOnLinux and the result was always the same. On Wine Staging it works perfectly though!
I'm just wondering, could we somehow guess which staging patch is responsible for this issue to be fixed? If so, can I expect it to be merged into regular Wine anytime soon?
Some output (using regular stable Wine 5.2)

For now it's not a very big deal, because it works just fine - even though I would need to downgrade Wine to stable release, I can ask GuitarPro support about some older build (I guess...). Or maybe I can debug that somehow to help improve Wine?
Greetings and thanks for your tips.
