Running Foobar in Linux, Alien Cats crossbreeding with Penguins Options

[klonuo]

Wine 1.4 released in the wild: http://www.winehq.org/news/2012030701

[pletter]

I have done a new installation of foobar because a fresh start of my lubuntu pc. I can't set the sound options in Wine to emulation like described in the first post in this topic (the option isn't there anymore). But now the sound is stuttering when i am browsing (especially when scrolling down webpages like forums).

Anyone a solution?

You could use Synaptic Package Manager to force a downgrade to Wine 1.2.3 and lock it there, possibly requiring you to edit your sources if it's not available.
You could try regedit as detailed several posts back in this thread.
Or you could remove Pulse Audio entirely and use Alsa.
Or if you have a copy of Windows you could run it in a virtual machine, which is what I'm beginning to suspect may be the best long term solution.

Use the newly created winepulse (1.5.2 or newer with pulseaudio driver by Maarten Lankhorst). The configuration to use the pulseaudio driver is a bit tricky and honestly, I forgot how did I do it the last time. However, audio is again stable as it should be.
Drawbacks: the wine developers did not accept this change AGAIN into the trunk, therefore its future is unsure.

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Linux.

I am still unable to stop the audio from stuttering in foobar, I've tried some of the things mentioned in this thread but it does not yet work.
I use Wine 1.5.5, and Ubuntu 12.4. I tried uninstalling PulseAudio or editting the hardware accelaration settings but that doesn't work. When I remove PulseAudio as per instruction of the post someone linked in this thread I don't get any sound at all in foobar2000.

I also tried downgrading to a lower version of Wine, but I don't know how since I keep getting an error when I try to compile Wine 1.2.3 from source ("error: no suitable flex found. Please install the 'flex' package.")

Thanks!

I now got it to work somehow without stuttering audio. Some visualizations are a bit laggy now, but nothing bad.
With this I think I'll keep using Linux. No foobar2000 would have been a deal breaker and I would have gone back to Windows.

Hello everyone.
The problem I have, is a heavy CPU load (near 80% from foobar2000 + wineserver processes on both 1600 MHz cores) with any type of audio files (Hz or bits), but when playback is stopped or set Foobar to "null output" device - load falls to 0. I trying both default pulseaudio and alsa (with direct hw usage and dmix).
If anyone has any ideas, please help.

Yes, this is with current wine 1.5 here too. If you downgrade to wine 1.4.1 problem should vanish.

[skamp]

fb2k uses 10% and wine 1.5.8 takes 6% here (Arch Linux).

[PiroXiline]

aliendesaster: Thanks. Roll back to 1.4 works for me. I think it was new resampler introduced in 1.5.4.

[PiroXiline]

Now I tried Wine 1.5.10, works perfectly. Again thank you all.

[Melomane]

ubuntu 12.04
wine 1.4

perfect sound

open folder work fine

somes littles draw problems with default user interface
album list, enter dont play

No draw problem using column UI

It doesn't seem to have come up before so this is presumably blindingly obvious to everyone except me, but in case there's someone else out there unlucky enough not to know more than I do, here's how to add a directory on a NAS / Samba / SMB / Network share, as foobar2000's media library:

Open up Wine configuration
Switch to the Drives tab
Press Add...
Choose a letter you like the look of, & press OK
Enter the path:

CODE

/home/<yourusername>/.gvfs

& press OK

Now in foobar2000 media library config you can browse to your networks shares at that drive letter under My Computer.

Almost certainly this is neither the only nor the best way.

Interesting issue that I'm having with the DSP Manager page of Preferences:



It's not that the icons fail to load on the buttons, it's that both the list views are disabled.

I have the same issue with wine 1.5.18 on Xubuntu 12.04, foobar v1.1.18.
Except that, everything is working fine with this configuration.

Everything works fine, but I have problem whit bluetooth A2DP. I buyed a bluetoot audio kit, what is connected whit my resiver. everything works fine in ubuntu, but when I start foobar to listen music then foobar just stops playing. When I open foobar and select track to play, then it plays 7sec and then just stops. any fix for that? using wine 1.4.1

Problem fixed after installed latest wine.

I am writing for other who wants make direct streaming works.
I use Peter's WASAPI plugin (from official site), and choose "push (my output device)" and direct streaming works (I have already modified ~/.asoundrc for direct use of hw card).
I've got no mixing, but I want it that way.
The problem for me was that Wine by default uses dmix, and mixing all out in 16bit 44kHz.
All other workarounds didn't work for me (sending variable ALSA_DEFAULT_PCM= to wine; tuning ~/.asoundrc, wine registry keys and values).
