Winecfg saving audio settings?

Post by Johan Johnsson »

Hi there!

Im sorry if this has been posted but I havent found any and I have searched.

Ok I have a problem with the winecfg. Winecfg saves all settings I make to each application I add to the list execpt when I edit the audio tab.
If I change anyting in there it changes for all apps and i cant understand why.
Im gonna take an exampel.

I have the global setting that I want in ALSA with Full acceleration so I set it.

I have added Diablo 2 and mark it, change the tab to audio and choose EMULATED acceleration and click apply then exit.

No I start winecfg again to check the settings in audio. When I check Diablo 2 it is on EMULATED and when I mark the global setting and check the audio tab the sound has change to emulated there too, d*mn I did set the global to FULL.

So somehow the audio tab changes do apply to all program. It doesnt mather if it is diablo or any other app I change, the audio is equal to all. For me this is a problem cuz when the sound in Diablo 2 is EMULATED ALSA works perfect, then I also whant Ventrilo to work and the recording doesnt work if the sound isnt set to FULL so I really need to set them different but I cant cuz winecfg refuses.

Is there anyone who can help me I would be very grateful :)
Thanks in advance!

This is by design. It makes no sense to have it per application, because you cant start two applications at the same time.

If you need separate audio settings per application - create separate WINEPREFIXes for each. 'man wine' to learn more about WINEPREFIX.
