Wine developers on all places seem to say that winepulse is not needed and that alsa plugin works fine. No, it doesn't work properly. I have a problem with crackling sounds since I started to use pulseaudio (since Ubuntu 13.04 to 14.10 currently). And it's not a problem with distributions modifications as you suggest in this note: https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=16895. Exactly the same I have with non-modified manually compiled version. These modifications only show that problem exists.
Any other native pulseaudio application in my system doesn't have such issues. Also winepulse works properly. I "fixed" my problem with crackling sounds by using following environment variable: PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 I don't know if standard latency is higher or not, but it works fine for me. And it doesn't affect whole system, but only single application. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371897 Title: Occasional sound drops in Wine via PulseAudio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wine/+bug/371897/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
