Dragon Age: Origins starts without sound?

I set up a new system, and I haven't played DA: O (GOG release) for a while. Before it run in Wine very smoothly, but now audio doesn't work and I get this error:

I posted it also in this old bug report which was already closed: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43685
Does it work for anyone with Wine 4.15?

Open Suse OBS (open build service) is really neat. Just built faudio 19.10 there for Debian testing, and it crunched packages for 32-bit as well. A lot easier than dealing with broken cross compilation (and no need to set up 32-bit lxc / VM or anything of the sort).

It didn't fix the problem with Dragon Age: Origins though.

OK, I managed to fix the issue by using large address aware patcher on the game binary: https://github.com/randomstuff/pe-set-laa
