I did some digging. Sniper Elite V2 sound stopped working between Wine Staging
3.4 and Wine Staging 3.5 (the non-staging versions of these releases can't
successfully launch the game).

I didn't see anything audio-related in the staging patch set between these
versions, but I did see one audio patch in the main Wine master branch:

    xaudio2: Prefer builtin version.

Based on this information, I installed xact via winetricks (mainly just to have
all the DLL overrides set), switched back to Wine 3.5 Staging (the first broken
release) and tried again. The game worked fine. Clearly there's still some
issues with the xaudio2 builtin.

Andrey seems to be correct - this override doesn't fix Watch_Dogs or Far Cry 4
for me.

I guess this issue can be marked as confirmed. Tested in Wine Staging 3.19 with
the DLL overrides installed by xact via winetricks (which works), and again
after removing all the overrides via winecfg which regressed Sniper Elite V2
back to having no sound.
