[SOLVED]Wine and Touhou 06 - No BGM

When I try to play Touhou 06 from Wine, the sound effects play fine, but the BGM doesn't play at all. The files in the game folder aren't corrupt. They play fine with mpv when playing without starting the game. The BGM is in .wav format.

I'm using the latest linux kernel. My wine is up to date and from the multilib repository.

When starting the game with wine, my output doesn't show anything interesting:

wine th06e.exe        :(
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f844,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8.

Nothing that mentions something with audio.

I don't have PulseAudio installed. The sound driver for wine that is enabled is the standard ALSA driver. The test sound plays fine too when pushing the "Test Sound" button in winecfg. I also tried a win32 wine prefix, but that didn't help either. Also tried changing the Wine windows version from 7 to XP, but that didn't help nonetheless.

Are there people here with the same problems?

There are no active bug reports in the AppDB: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. … n&iId=9594

Oops. Was meant to be in "Multimedia and Games"

Re: [SOLVED]Wine and Touhou 06 - No BGM

If the BGM was MIDI, I would suggest checking the wine MIDI settings - but since it is wav, I'm not sure.

I would check (if possible) that the game does not send the BGM to a MIDI channel or similar. It could be that - just a guess!

But the settings are set to "WAV". MIDI output is impossible unless the game doesn't write to the config file.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: [SOLVED]Wine and Touhou 06 - No BGM

Sadly the Touhou series has multiple problems in WINE. Does the problem occur with any other Touhou games?
Try playing them in a Windows VM, that's what I do.

Touhou 8 and above work perfectly with WAV.

Only 6 and 7 share this problem. The many problems aren't that present in the AppDB. Everyone gives platinum ratings. That's why I really wonder what's different in my case.

Re: [SOLVED]Wine and Touhou 06 - No BGM

Not really that related, but what window manager are you using? Because 7 (and in lesser extend, 6 and all others) screw up for me with any tiling window manager. Have you twaked any winecfg settings and what do they look like? Could you post the terminal output?

Awesome is my window manager. My winecfg settings are set to the default values when installing wine from the multilib repository. It doesn't screw up, except the sound, but that's not related to my window manager.

I posted the terminal output in the OP.

Re: [SOLVED]Wine and Touhou 06 - No BGM

Well, I don't see what the problem could be. Normally I'd say "just play it without BGM" but really, the Touhou BGM is just too good to do that.
Awesome is the one window manager that plays well with Touhou, indeed.

Recheck pavucontrol (you're using pulseaudio, right?) and see if the output is going somewhere else perhaps - maybe it's going to your monitor or something. Does it show any sound playing in pavucontrol at all?

Also, what sound card are you using, or are you using your onboard sound from your motherboard?

Just an onboard Ralink sound chip.

I don't use PulseAudio. Just ALSA.

Funny fact: TH07 plays the .wav BGM just fine. I'm wondering what makes TH06 a different case.

Re: [SOLVED]Wine and Touhou 06 - No BGM

OK, people. I feel very sorry for all of those who tried to help me, but the problem was the game install itself. I tried a fresh install from another source and it worked great. I think that I applied a wrong patch or something like that.

I'm very sorry!

Edit:

Found out that the BGM stops working when applying the retexture patch. No idea why.

Re: [SOLVED]Wine and Touhou 06 - No BGM

Ok, no worries! Glad you got it working, have fun. Scarlet Devil is my personal favourite, so it must suck not to have BGM!
However next time, this is of course the first thing you check (I would have suggested it, but I've had other Touhou-related sound problems in the past, so I didn't think of that as an option)

I checked it with another download, but it had the texture pack already applied. That's why it had the same problem.

And thanks! It's a very good game indeed.
