Summary: Ubuntu 6.06 Cataclysm - sound loop makes mouse erratic Product: Wine Version: 0.9.9. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: bjchip@computer.org
Tried various combinations of sound and video settings but nothing yet works. On startup and menu presentation the mouse and audio are perfect, the sound track runs nicely, the mouse is smooth. This is in menus OR in the game.
After the sound loop has been played it stutters and restarts from the beginning. The mouse then becomes erratic and unresponsive.
Interrupts are being missed, the sound system is taking priority over the mouse and appears to be loading/reloading tiny chunks of sound in some unnecessary manner. I tried knocking back the sound quality to no effect. This appears whether sound is in emulation or hardware assisted. It happens at all resolution settings, and with safegl.
Since the game played normally during previous sessions I believe that this is something that is environment related. Some other program changed some aspect of the sound system and it is not being reset/controlled to put it back as it needs to be? It is currently unplayable (again).
Notable changes. Powered down overnight. Installed Skype (no, I was NOT on the phone :-) ... I am examining the system in more detail. If I can persuade it to boot the W98 version I may have better luck. W98 does not find the CD even when it is explicitly identified.
