Wine-Staging 1.7.39 Works On Speeding Up Wineserver Calls

[Thaodan]

I tried the new feature but it caused lags in wow for me (the combat log was not syncron with the game).

Did anybody having problems with ALSA just delete the /etc/asound.conf provided by their distro? By default (without any config file) ALSA enables dmix and it just works.

pulseaudio by default grabs hardware ALSA device and it has nothing to do with pavucontrol. That is one of the reasons everyone hates pulseaudio.

It also provides an ALSA compatibility device which makes legacy ALSA applications generally just-work.

should have
from the datasheet "20 channels, 36-bit wide digital mixer"

alsa also does resampling and mixing (in libalsa)

No HWMIX tag on these cards. Maybe it's an unimplemented feature in ice1724 driver for this chip.

Cards with Envy24HT don't have HWMIX tag. Maybe it's not implemented in ice1724 for this chip.

Downsamples? Do you realize humans can't hear above 20KHz?

not only that, but frequencies above it can cause intermodulation distortion on some amps (that don't have good filters on input)

I have a Onkyo SE200PCI with a Envy24HT chip. It has hardware resampling but no mixing.

Pulseaudio or dmix plugin is still needed.

well, Nyquist said it's more then enough

chips that do hardware mixing that i know of are VIA envy series
and ICE from IC Ensemble, that VIA bought and rebranded as "envy"
(to be more precise, they do resampling)

if someone has a via envy, you can put this in .asoundrc to get direct resampling

type hw
card 0
}
ctl.!default{

Audigy 2 is a shit card that downsamples everything to 48 KHz.

Try configuring pavucontrol. It took me 30 minutes to fix that problem.
