• Wine has no audio on FreeBSD-oh-so-almost-stable 15.0-ALPHA.

    Whenever I say wine here, assume I have also said wine-proton. I have
    tried wine a number of different ways. At one point, I also noticed my linuxulator wasn't passing audio, but this was fixed with a few more
    libraries installed on the linux side. So now factorio (linux) works.

    I also don't appear to have any problem with either linux or wine 3D.
    Things that will run without audio run fine.

    On the FreeBSD side, I have little trouble. There are about a dozen audio devices ... most of them for every possible HDMI and DisplayPort connection
    in the machine. The 2nd one, however (pcm1) is my preferred. Setting the preferred with kde seems to make it happen for things that don't set their
    own audio.

    On wine, however, no audio choices show up. Some games (Fallout 4 is one)
    will not launch without audio --- and so they refuse. Other games launch
    and run fine, but have no audio.

    I've messed with alsa, port audio, and oss. Heck ... even my non-standard headset (uses 48k audio) is working fine on FreeBSD. No sound working on
    wine.

    Can anyone give pointers to a working sound system? I'm very close to
    having a working system to make some notes about both steam and non-steam
    games on FreeBSD. Just the audio is broken.

    What do you mean?

    Can you please share the steps you are following to reproduce this from
    zero? I would like to give it a try. I would suggest you open a PR on
    Bugzilla [1], and put the information there, so that we can track the
    issue more easily. Also make sure to set me as either the assignee or at
    least CC me to it.
