[solved] Mass Effect 2 with wine

[Linubie]

Hi,

When starting ME2 under wine, I only have sound with the intros, after that sound stops working.
I am running under AMD 64.
Starting ME2 from konsole I get the following message:

What flags did you build wine with? Based on the error log, I'm assuming gstreamer and pulseaudio? It's worth noting, as noted in a warning message when you emerged wine, it is known that gstreamer can break some games. So assuming that you do, in fact, have that enabled, you should rebuild wine without it and see if that resolves the crash. While you are at it, might as well tack on --with-bdeps=y for good measure.
Additionally, do you have media-plugins/alsa-plugins installed, and with what flags? We don't currently have wine requiring it, but your log would seem to indicate that it wants it. Need to mull it over, to determine whose responsibility it is to select that.

Anyway, just get back to me, and I'll see what we can do about resolving it.

Hi, thank you for the answer,

and you are right wine is compiled with pulsaudio and gstreamer USE FLAG:

app-emulation/wine-1.7.39::wine-overlay USE="X alsa fontconfig gecko gphoto2 gstreamer jpeg lcms mono mp3 ncurses nls openal opengl oss perl png prelink pulseaudio realtime run-exes scanner ssl threads truetype udisks v4l xcomposite xinerama xml -capi -cups -custom-cflags -dos -gsm -ldap -netapi -odbc -opencl -osmesa -pcap -pipelight -s3tc -samba (-selinux) -staging {-test} -vaapi" ABI_X86="32 64 (-x32)" LINGUAS="de -ar -bg -ca -cs -da -el -en -en_US -eo -es -fa -fi -fr -he -hi -hr -hu -it -ja -ko -lt -ml -nb_NO -nl -or -pa -pl -pt_BR -pt_PT -rm -ro -ru -sk -sl -sr_RS@cyrillic -sr_RS@latin -sv -te -th -tr -uk -wa -zh_CN -zh_TW" 0 KiB

media-plugins/alsa-plugins are installed too:

[ebuild R ] media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.0.28 USE="ffmpeg jack libsamplerate pulseaudio speex -debug" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 0 KiB.

OK I will try to compile wine again without pulseaudio and gestreamer USE FLAG.
Should I also unset pulseaudio for alsa-plugins?

Regarding to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Portage/FAQ
I have set EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps=y in make.conf and will recompile as mentioned in the FAQ with emerge --deep --with-bdeps=y --update @world -av.

This will likely do nothing for this particular issue, but I have a general comment with regards to this part:

[Linubie]

OK I removed pulseaudio completely from my installation and I am starting the game like suggested, with no success.

Got it!
I need to run MassEffect2.exe to have sound after the intros.
