StarCraft II Forum

Howdy All,

Just figured I would drop a message here that I've found the audio under Starcraft 2 on Ubuntu 10.04 is very sub-par. It is choppy all the time and sometimes after playing for a few hours it even stops playing audio all together.

Even after settings mmdevapi to disabled the audio still was not functioning properly (this did the trick in the beta). Upon loading up the game under Wine 1.2 I discovered I had the same issue there as well.

The solution? Installing a build of Wine that has built in Pulse audio support. So if you are having audio issues - you might want to give that a try.

Or, look in the Tips & Tricks section for the resolution ;)

Thanks! I missed that one last I checked. Will give it a try when I get home.

I think I may have the same problem. Switching the sound mode to "emulation" did not seem to help. I do believe that PulseAudio is at the root of the problem. But what do you mean by "built in PulseAudio support"? Doesn't Crossover have this already? If not, how do I obtain such a build? Compile from sources?

I filed ticket 826310 with lots of details.
