Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit
Radeon HD 6410D graphics
I apologize if this has been answered before but I'm new to Linux, Wine, and
the site. That also means I have little to no knowledge on how to fix things on
Linux/Wine other than running what people tell me to in console. If you need any
more information on computer specs or whatever just ask :)
I'm having an odd problem with some games with Wine. The audio and video
will sometimes (or all of the time) run at insane speeds, sometimes it seems 5x
or 6x the normal speed. For example, the opening video to The Sims 3 always runs
at 5x the speed it should along with the audio. On the main loading screen the
video plays normally while the audio still runs at a fast speed. The actual
gameplay aspects of the game, from what I can tell, are running at normal
speeds. Time runs how it should in the game. But the audio still runs at an
insane speed throughout the entire gameplay. One time out of the dozen or so
times I've tried the opening video played fine but the audio started
speeding up once I got to the loading screen.
Terraria also has audio problems but it's more intermittent. Sometimes when
the game is started the audio will run fast and sometimes it'll run normal.
If it's running normal, eventually while playing (normally around ten
minutes in) it'll start speeding up (especially when background music
changes in game). It will then either stay that way until quitting, correct
itself in a couple of minutes (only to happen again later), or the sound will
instantly cut out altogether. Video isn't affected in Terraria.
I've run the following;
Code:
sudo nano /etc/pulse/client.conf
followed by changing the following "yes" to "no";
Code:
; autospawn = yes
autospawn = no
and then run;
Code:
killall pulseaudio
before running any game in Wine, and while it does help (The Sims 3 no longer
runs at fast speeds for the opening video) the audio still sometimes speeds back
up in gameplay (IE Terraria).
Is there anything else I can do to help stop this from happening? It's not a
major problem since it doesn't affect any gameplay (unless I were to play a
game that relies on audio). Diablo 3 doesn't have any audio/video problems
(sans running the echo code that freezes my computer 90% of the time and the
computer freezing after starting a game 100% of the time but that's a
different problem) so I don't know why it's only some games and not
others.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
