Sound starts but drops out on game.

Post by Sethusoid »

There is a 2d mmorpg that I play that is a spin off of Endless Online. When running this program with Wine, I have a couple of sound problems. First, it will only play one sound at a time from the game, and two, the sound drops out completely after a few sounds try to play at the same time. I've tried a bunch of different settings with the same results. I ran the game from the command line and noticed the following error pop up at the moment the sound dropped out:

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x128984 "alsa.c: ALSA_MSG_RING.msg_crst" wait timed out in thread 00c3, blocked by 0000, retrying (60 sec)

I can play other games using Wine with no sound problems at all, only this app is giving me problems. Any ideas?

Which sound driver is selected in winecfg? What other settings are set to there? What distro?

It's currently the ALSA driver, but I've tried them all with similar or worse results. I'm running Linux Mint Elyssa r1. I also have tried disabling and removing everything pulseaudio that I could find, but no change.
