Syberia 2 Tips

Fixing the main menu noise problem

Here are the steps to fix the annoying periodic bursting noise problem in the main menu screen. This has been tested with the GOG.com version only, but the original retail version very probably exhibits the same problem.

You'll need the DLL file C:\windows\system32\dsound.dll from an existing Windows XP installation (or you can just grab it from the internet and experiment with that – not recommended).


  • Select the Configure > Manage Bottles... menu item
  • Select the bottle where Syberia II is installed 
  • Under the Advanced tab, select Open C: Drive in Finder
  • Copy the original dsound.dll into windows/system32, overwriting the existing placeholder file
  • Now back to the bottle manager... Select Control Panel 
  • Launch Wine Configuration
  • Select the Libraries tab
  • Type dsound in the New override for library edit field, click the Add button, click the Edit button, select Native (Windows), click OK, and click OK
Tested on:
