No sound playing Tom Clancy's HAWX

[gamerboy]

Hi,

Problem is there is no sound.

Code: Select all

$ wine --version
wine-1.3.12

Tried using the the wine ver. offered at winehq but got an exe dump.

Played the same game under Ubuntu without any issues.

How to troubleshoot ? Need to get the sound working.

Using openSUSE 11.4

There have been many changes to sound in Wine since version 1.3.26, it
may be worth trying a newer version. In either version various things to
try:

remove pulseaudio if your system is using it.

In winecfg (Code: winecfg) check the Audio tab, set Hardware
Acceleration to Full and default sample rate to 44100.

In the winecfg Libraries tab add an override for openal32 (native,
builtin) - this one may only matter with wine version 1.3.26 or newer.

I have no clue if any of those will help in your game, they are things
others suggested that helped me get sound working in various games.

Removed pulse audio.
Acceleration to Full and default sample rate to 44100 :Done
tab add an override for openal32 (native, builtin) : Done
Unfortunately there is still no sound.
But thanks a lot.

Ubuntu too uses pulse. The game had no audio issues there. Don't understand what's different in openSUSE.

That version is old; Wine's sound system has been completely rewritten since then. Upgrade to the latest development release, and if it still doesn't work, post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

What version of Wine were you using in Ubuntu?

I don't remember the version but was using the PPA from winehq.

That's what I did in case of openSUSE too. Added the repo mentioned at wine hq but as I said it gave me an exe dump. Then I downgraded which at least loaded the game

I don't know if this information is helpful in updating Wine but -

I'm also in opensuse 11.4. According to YAST I am getting wine from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... SUSU_11.4/

The installed packages from that repo I have are:
gettext-runtime 0.18.1.1-4.1
wine 1.3.29-4.1
wine-32bit 1.3.29-4.1
wine-gecko 1.3-19.1(1.3-18.2)

I have renabled http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... SUSU_11.4/ then did a system update .Isn't that suppose to update wine ?

No. That will only get updates from the Update repository. You have to specifically upgrade Wine.

Have a look at the wine gecko version. Its creating installation issues.



When I try to install it , this is what I get

Ask on the openSUSE forum. Problems with distro packages and package managers are not Wine issues.

Okay, but from where did you get that package ?

[gamerboy]

wine-gecko 1.3-19.1(1.3-18.2)

You have mentioned 2 2 versions. Which one is installed ?

What I typed is exactly what the line says. I start up YAST, click the
repositories tab, then in the box on the left of the screen I click on
the wine repo (in the list in that box). This puts the available files
in the box on the right with the installed files at the top of the list.
Those installed files are what I put in my previous post, exactly as
they are shown. I didn't have a way to do color tags - the (1.3-18.2)
part of that line is in red text instead of black, if knowing that is
helpful, but I do not know what that means.

I noticed in one of your screenshots from YAST that you had an option
"do not install wine-snapshot-1.3.29.20111007-1.1.x86_64". Are you
trying to run 64 bit Wine or 32 bit? I don't think many, if any, games
do well in 64 bit Wine yet.

If install through YAST isn't working maybe try zypper. From command
line type:

sudo zypper install wine

If you are using 64 bit OS you may need to clarify that install somehow
to be sure you get 32 bit wine. I'm in 32 bit so I'm not sure of the
tags or alternate file name you would need.

That should either work, or give you a more specific error message we
can work with to help you find the problem.

It was tparker who posted his package info, not me, but I happen to be on 64 bit openSUSE, and I got my package from http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... SUSE_11.4/, installed with Yast, with no dependency problems.

That is also where I got my packages (32 bit) also installed with no
problems.

Code: Select all

Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'wine' is already installed.
No update candidate for 'wine-1.3.29-4.1.x86_64'. The highest available version is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies...

Now I have installed the 32 bit Wine. But when I start the game the screen colour is getting weird like 256 colors & still no sound.

If you guys are fed up, just leave it. I will stop playing the game or install Ubuntu.

[gamerboy]

'wine-1.3.29-4.1.x86_64'.

OH S***.

This is really embarrassing. Give me some time.

You should also have the wine-32bit package installed. Yast should have installed it automatically for you, because it's a dependency of the 64 bit package.

Assuming you do have all the necessary parts installed, create a 32 bit wineprefix to install the game into:

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix wine /path/to/installer

Franklyu thats too difficult for me. I just want to install the 32 bit ver. & get started. Please tell me what to do.

Make sure that you do not have both 64 bit and 32 bit installed, just
32. Then uninstall and reinstall your video driver, even if it is with
the same version you already have. It's pretty common for changes to
wine, or X to confuse the drivers.

Also check winecfg after the driver reinstall. Wine 1.3.29 is after the
sound changes and some of the settings from when you used 1.3.12 may
have changed.

I am on mobile broadband atm. Will soon get a wired broadband. Will try your fix then. Thanks.

Installed Lubuntu 11.04, added the wine PPA. The game is playing fine now.

IMHO the Ubuntu backend (upto 10.10) is less complicated than openSUSE which has its unique YAST.
