Bug ID: 49699
Summary: Red Dead Redemption 2 has crackling audio
Product: Wine
Version: 5.14
Hardware: x86
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: winepulse.drv
Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
Reporter: bshanks at codeweavers.com
Distribution: ---
Red Dead Redemption 2 uses WASAPI for audio, and sometimes has crackly audio.
It asks for a very small buffer (10 ms) when calling
IAudioClient::Initialize(), and then has a thread which checks the buffer
padding every 2 ms. It waits until there's at least 256 frames free in the
buffer, and fills 256 frames at a time.
When using winepulse, it has a low latency path and provides a 10 ms buffer.
This is 440/480 frames, not leaving much slack when refills are only 256 at a
time.
As far as I can tell, Windows never gives out a buffer smaller than 20 ms
though. This is more around 1056 frames, leaving much more slack. Disabling the
winepulse low latency path results in a buffer around this size, and audio is
much better. winealsa also seems to do this by default, and it sounds fine.
