Has someone experienced clipping sound on the game recently? I just tried for first time in weeks and the game runs great though with an annoying clipping sound every few seconds. I have tried with Alsa/Pulse but it's the same with both. Wine 3.15 + DXVK 0.71. I haven't seen anything on the web regarding that issue and this definitely never happened before to me.

Any ideas?

I didn't test it recently (waiting for transform feedback), but I can give it a try with recent Wine and dxvk.

Just tested - (Wine 3.15 + dxvk master). I didn't notice any change in sound. I have a more powerful CPU though. It's possible your PulseAudio is CPU starved which usually can cause clipping.

@Arehandoro OpenAL got updated on Arch recently, and it's completely broken. Just downgrade openal and lib32-openal to the previous version and you should be fine.

I see that Arch is using openal 1.19.0, and Debian testing / unstable is still on libopenal1 1.18.2. Is it a bug in OpenAL 1.19 or something is wrong particularly with Arch build of it?

Thanks for the bug hunt :)

It should be fixed in the master. So watch out for 1.19.0, but 1.19.1 should be OK.

Transform feedback Vulkan extension should be just weeks away now.
