wine causes echo (multiple playback)

[marosh]

Hallo all!

Since an unplanned reinstall of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karamic) I have unpleasant multiple sound-playbacks (sounds a little like an echo) using wine. E.g. when playing WoW (thanks guys that I can play it on Linux) I hear every Sound at least twice. I tried various sound drivers via winecfg, using test sound I hear the sound twice, and with ALSA winecfg even crashes. I also tried to use padsp and aoss, no postive effect though, like a re-install didn't take a positive effect. Does anyone have a clue what else I can do? If so, post any further information you need...
Thanks in advance!!

On one of my systems, with an on-board sound chip, it will echo sounds if I have selected a 5.1 speaker setup and will return to normal if I set it back to stereo.

try switching to emulation under winecfg/audio

Hi folks,

I was able to fix this echoing issue (in WoW) by lowering the wincfg/audio/sample rate to 22050 Hz. I'm still on full HW acceleration and 16 bit/sample.
