dmsynth stopping Hitman Codename 47 from running

[remus]

Hello,

When trying to execute hitman codename 47 the terminal reports a line saying "0258:err:dmsynth:synth_sink_render_thread WaitForMultipleObjects returned 0" before i kill the process. Without the terminal open, this would look like a blank screen (windowed or in full screen).

I can get the program to run if I go into winecfg and disable dmsynth but then the program has no music. I've tried to use winetricks to install direct music and dmsynth but the file always returns a SHA256 error and quits.

I read multiple posts around the net with others who had some success working around this but all the options let to issues.

Any help on the issue would be appriciated.

Details:
Wine 9.0 - I tried upgrading and the install process reports i have the latest version. I know v10 is the latest on the site.
OS: Linux mint, version 20.3, version codename "Una", ubunu codename "focal".
Machine: Acer aspire 3 laptop - Core i3

You can try using winecfg to set the audio driver to ALSA or PulseAudio
