no audio for World of Warcraft TBC on debian 11

[casper420]

hi i am running debian 11 bullseye and I can't get audio to work world of warcraft, i haven't tried any other game/program to see if anything else works. i've tried winecfg and changed the audio settings from "System Default" to "Pulseaudio" but it doesn't work. i've looked through the forums and couldn't really find much.

thanks

also, the “Test Sound” in winecfg plays the sound and I can hear it through my speakers. sound also doesn’t work in another version of WoW, i haven’t attempted any other software with it, simply because I don’t know what else to download. I’m also running nvidia drivers, installed with

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver

Some people said it was a problem with wine 5, I don’t know but sound was working awhile back when I was running Linux, I also wasn’t using nvidia drivers, and was using the nouveau drivers so maybe it’s an issue with that.

Hope this helps a little bit

If you have "pavucontrol" installed, launch that before you launch WoW. In WoW, select play audio in background, then switch to pavucontrol and see what it says. See if it is receiving some kind of stream at least. If you don't have pavucontrol, consider installing it. Just a regular user here.
