For SupCom, does it matter what version your game is patched to? Does the SupCom demo have the same issue?

The demo does work out of the box as far as I heard. But there's only one report stating this, so take it with a grain of salt.

Game version doesn't matter.

There seem to be some people who get sound working in the addon. I am not one of them. They never seem to tell me what DLLs they're using and how, although I do know that Harware Accel needs to be set to Emulation. Still no deal for me.

So, this bug still exists. xactengine are still needed, and the addon still has no sound at all.

Alright, got sound working in the addon.

These DLLs need to be registered additionally with regsvr32 on top of the original 6 dlls:
xactengine2_7.dll
xactengine2_8.dll
xactengine2_9.dll

The Default Sample Rate needs to be set back to 44100.
SupCom needs 48000 for sound to work, its addon needs 44100. I don't get it...

Well, there are still dlls needed, so this bug is still valid.

I just fixed the winetricks directx9 verb up
to actually work :-)  

Can you test that and see if I need to add those regsvr calls, too?

I downloaded the newest winetricks from your site and installed the DX9 redistributable with it. However, neither x3daudio*.dll nor xactengine*.dll were installed :/
So there's nothing to register, and SupCom fails to launch because of lack of a3daudio*.dll

Mhh. Interesting. As of 1.1.0 (or maybe some earlier version) Wine does not need to register those DLLS anymore. It suffices to  put those x3daudio1_1.dll and xactengine2_4.dll in system32 (for the original game that is!)

x3d to get it start and xactengine to get Audio. Sample rate still needs to be set to 48000 tho.


I will try the Forged Alliance and see what it needs.

Forged Alliance depends on x3daudio1_2.dll and xactengine2_9.dll for sound. For it, the sample rate needs to be 44100. The dlls for the original game are not needed anymore for FA.

Fixing title to reflect current condition.

btw, if it wasn't clear what I meant: The DLLs don't need to be registered anymore. Just dump the corresponding DLLs in system32 (also set sample rate) and it will work.

*** Bug 15532 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Mhh, it broke again. I need to register with regsvr32 the DLLs again to get it to work. No idea if the Wine version is responsible (1.1.8) or if it's just me fooling around with something.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.21 or newer) wine?

yes.

Installing 'xact' in newer winetricks does the job of registering all the needed DLLs aswell, nice and easily.

(In reply to comment #13)
Sound is available without using neither "winetricks xact" nor "winetricks directx9"  in Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (unpatched).
My system is Fedora 11, wine sound driver: ALSA, sound sample rate: 44100 Hz, Wine-1.1.23

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 6
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.1.35 or newer) wine?

Yes. It's still an opened issue in Wine 1.2-rc2. I'm experiencing it with Supreme Commander demo. To get the sound working I used winetricks to install xact and then when it still didn't work I set sampling rate to 48000 and then it started playing sound (not shore if installing xact was needed)...

Affects King Arthur-The Roleplaying Wargame. 
Although the game doesn't complain about the missing Xaudio libraries on startup, it is completely silent unless I install the xact libraries and set Alsa to 'Emulation' and the sample rate to 44.1 KHz.

Wine-1.3.11-211-gbaeb0d9

No sound in Forged Alliance even after having used "winetricks xact" here.

This one also affects idTech5-based games. ATM the "games list" is limited to be only brand-new RAGE title from Bethesda & idSoftware. idTech5 requires XAudio2 version 2.7 which one may install using "winetricks xact_jun2010" or simply by installing full DirectX runtime from June 2010.

Sorry for posting here but it seems that you are the most-targeted auditory I wish to ask to do some testing. I had reported bug #28723 about sound stutter when emulated Windows version is set to Win7 and app produces sound through mmdevapi, either directly or over XAudio2. Thus chances are good that apps in this bug are also affected by bug #28723. Thanks in advance for testing it with latest wine-git.

Still a problem for Dark Sector with wine 1.5.12.

Needed "winetricks xact" to get past the error:

err:module:import_dll Library X3DAudio1_2.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Novyi Dysk\\Dark Sector\\DS.exe") not found

Once running, there remains no sound in the game menu and the actual gameplay.

I'm trying to play XCOM, and I'm affected by this issue. is there at least a manual workaround I can perform to have sound?

winetricks xact

already did that, but there is still no sound

That's a support question, not a bug tracking question, please ask it
on the forum or the appdb.

how is a non-working feature not a bug?

The non-working feature is a bug.

Helping *you* to get it working on *your* machine anyway is a support question
beyond the scope of bugzilla.

(In reply to comment #35)
> The non-working feature is a bug.

that's what I thought. is this bug fixed?

> Helping *you* to get it working on *your* machine anyway is a support question

well, the bug being fixed and the feature working are two events that occur exactly at the same time.

I also confirm that:

winetricks xact

doesn't solve the issue: still no sound.

(installed in clean wine prefix, added all recommended winetricks, sound works in winecfg and other games; kubuntu 12.04, fully up-to-date, wine 1.5.17)

Nope - and you know it as that's the reason you came here seeking for support.

You would get sound working in your favourite app as soon as Wine would implement required XACT-related libs. But I bet this is not what you're seeking for right now as implementing XACT in Wine is not something that is going to happen in a next few days. Dan is precisely correct on support questions being outside the scope of bugzilla but as there are a lot of other people suffering from this problem and their tendency to seek for help in bugzilla here is what to try to workaround this bug:

# winetricks xact_jun2010

If above won't help - manually download and unpack latest DirectX runtime redist  from MS site, seek for files named similar to DLLs the game fails to find and unpack required libraries from these files using cabextract tool. Keep in mind that most likely you should own a Windows license to be safe of a legal side doing like this.

you guys are, well, quite arrogant.

anyway, for some reason the sound works now. how I got it to work is that I used a 32-bit manually compiled version of wine to install XCOM & related dependencies using winetricks, including xact. (version wine-1.5.13-402-gcd9451c to be precise). interestingly, this wine wouldn't run XCOM itself, but the 64 bit wine that comes with ubuntu 12.10 (wine-1.5.16) runs it with sound afterwards.

I'm not sure how the above wizardry made it work though.

Confirm. XCOM start, but no sound. wine 1.5.20 and 1.5.21.

Also confirm it for XCom with wine 1.5.25

Did someone start to implement xact lib by the way?


I may help...

Same problem with "Giana Sisters - Twisted Dreams":

err:module:import_dll Library X3DAudio1_7.dll (which is need by ".../GSGameExe_DX9.exe") not found

BUT: the exact same installation on a computer with nVidia graphics works! No idea, what graphics has to do with audio, but I just want to mention. The computers both have AMD CPUs with Ubuntu 12.04 64 Bit (and standard Unity desktop). One has a nVidia Graphics card (GT430) and the other has integrated graphics (AMD APU). Both use integrated standard Audio.

Hello folks,

please avoid adding more dupes here and rather separate them into stub dlls bugs.
This bug has become a "meta" bug which should be avoided.

Regards

Hello folks,

as already indicated in my last comment, having this meta-meta bug is not useful.

I'm going to split this up, targeting *one* component.

bug 24545 -> X3DAudio1_6.dll 
bug 36844 -> X3DAudio1_7.dll

bug 26808 -> XAudio2_7.dll
bug 26833 -> XAudio2_4.dll
bug 36847 -> XAudio2_3.dll

I'll probably also un-dupe bugs that need XAudio(2) component not yet covered in Bugzilla.
