Audio Latency Mac

[drcorchit]

Hey guys. First post here. I'll get to the point.

I'm using a mid 2012 macbook pro running OSX Yosemite (not the most recent OS)

I'm trying to run some programs in wine, but I have an audio latency problem of about 1000 milliseconds, which is completely horrible. I've looked at some other similar posts, but none really answered my questions. Using winebottler, I tried the following workarounds: I changed the audio driver to OSS, ALSA, and PulseAudio, but the sound wouldn't play at all. When I checked Mac Core Audio, I got the audio delay problem, so I'm assuming that's what is selected by default. I'm don't think I have ALSA OSS or PulseAudio installed, however, because I got a message saying "No sound device detected. Sounds may not play" when I tried those.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

Winebottler is not supported here; retest in plain Wine. Use the WineHQ package. https://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX

FYI, ALSA and PulseAudio are for Linux only.

Thanks for your help. It gets confusing sorting bewteen the mac and linux wine posts. You've helped me steer in the right direction, at least.

EDIT: I tried opening gamemaker 8 (the software in question) with wine-devel but sounds would not play. Winebottler requires the dll's dsound and directmusic to play. How to I configure those in wine-devel.

Do I want wine staging or wine devel? Whats the difference? Thanks.

EDIT: I went with wine devel. Apparently staging is more experimental.

Try wine-devel, which is the development branch. Wine-staging includes experimental patches.
