Bug Description

To reproduce:

1. Open winecfg.
2. Click "Audio"
3. Click "test sound" button.

No sound is heard at all. At the top of the tab is the message:

"Selected driver: (none)"

When clicking "test sound" the following error message is printed on the terminal each time:

err:ole:CoInitializeEx Attempt to change threading model of this apartment from multi-threaded to apartment threaded
err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\windows\\system32\\mmdevapi.dll"
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {bcde0395-e52f-467c-8e3d-c4579291692e} could be created for context 0x1

No other messages are given.

Does this occur in a clean wine prefix? (mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-backup, run winecfg again)

Yes, that fixes it. Also removing the dll override on mmdevapi.dll fixes it too. I don't know how I failed to find that fix yesterday.

Sound still doesn't work properly but it is at least making some kind of noise now. Checking if the new problem has been reported or not... (sounds play back too fast - pitch isn't affected, parts of the audio are dropped to keep up.)

I narrowed this down to this:

File: .wine/user.reg
Line:
[Software\\Wine\\Drivers\\winealsa.drv] 1331502832

There was another line with "Drivers" in its path, which I deleted - including its child key/value pair.

Note that the new key doesn't have a key/value pair child at all.

Right, the lines I deleted and replaced with the above are:

[Software\\Wine\\Drivers] 1331504630
"Audio"="esd"

If that number is a UNIX timestamp, it's in the future because I went to another computer to figure out what I deleted, because I didn't keep a copy before I posted.

So what seems to have happened here is that in an old version of Wine you told it to use the esd driver and Wine isn't smart enough to fallback to a reasonable default.

If it still doesn't work and you are on precise 64 bits, your trouble may be the one of bug #978293

This particular sound issue seems like a configuration thing, so I'm going to close this one (the other bugs are valid though)
