Hello,
I am running the latest Ubuntu on my HP Paviljon Slimline PC with AMD Phenom 9750 Quadcore Processor and 4GiB Ram (2.4Ghrz).
Have Nvidia GT120 Card and have checked info with " lspci | grep -i audio " on Terminal.
Which gives this output
00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S High Definition Audio (rev a1)
03:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23885 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 02)
When i play Music or Video i have no problems at all.
But.
Have World of Warcraft installed trough Wine and all is working perfect. The thing is that i hear a weird chirping sound when i log in the game (1 time) and then i hear a sort of ticking sound on the background and it stays there no matter if a disable music or not.
Have also tried all 3 settings in sound config (ingame) eg. System Default, Pulse Audio Software ((Null)) and ALSA Software on Default ((null)).
The weird ticking sound is staying.
Anyone knows a solution of have a hint where i must look to solve this ?
Thanks
Weird sound tick in game World of Warcraft
Update
Ok.. weird thing has happened.
I loaded Wine config and the settings where on Vista (thats where i got the problems).. so i changed the settings to Windows 7 and started the Game again.. got a error and game crash..
I rebooted PC and turned the settings in Wine config back from Windows 7 to Vista and started Game again..
No clicking sounds anymore
This is really weird due i had it on Vista settings in the 1th place.. now i putted back to Vista from Windows 7 and there is no problem anymore..
Perhaps a minor bug somewhere.. nevertheless its ok now.. so i consider it solved
ps.. Have Sound settings in game on System Default

Have you guys tried playing with "nice values"???
ie: "sudo renice -10 -n game.exe"
or by going to "system monitor" right-clicking on the application, and
changing the nice values there.
I have read places that people have sped up games, or fixed audio
problems this way.
have applied various registry Wine tweaks???
and disabled wine's debugging? ie: WINEDBG=-all
all of these things could be contributing to the clicks you are hearing.
you could also try disabling the pulseaudio daemon. i think the
command is "pasuspender" typed on the commandline before executing the
game. - if you think it is pulseaudio related. which it could be..
just some thoughts, i don't use wine for games. but i do use wine a
lot, and have stumbled into similar problemsm now and again.

Make sure the Windows version is set to XP and not to Vista/Win7. Blizzard games (not entirely sure about WoW but I think it affects it as well) use the Vista/Win7 audio APIs when the Windows version is set to Vista/Win7. These audio APIs are incomplete and buggy in Wine, so set the Windows version to XP.
