Ubuntu/WIne stops playing occasionally
This is under Ubuntu 8.10, running spotify with WINE so its probably something to do with my sound setup, but occasionally Spotify will just stop playing music and I have to restart it to make it work again.
Not a huge problem, but it somewhat breaks the flow when im into the music :(

Inappropriate?I had this with Fedora8 and pulseaudio some months back, but have so far not noticed it for my new Fedora10. I haven't listened that much to spotify thou, and not continuously, so i can't say if it still exists or not. -
Inappropriate?Change to OSS under the Audio tab in winecfg, solved the problem for me at least!
I’m happy

This solves the problem
-
Changing to OSS seems to work. I have been streaming all day now and not a single hang. -
Thanks Carl - this has worked for me too in Ubuntu 9.04
-
Inappropriate?Same problem in Ubuntu 9.04 -
Inappropriate?I'm not sure about this but I THINK this bug has something to do with pausing the music at some point. If I use pause and resume, the music will stop at random at some point and only remedy is to restart Spotify. However, it seems that whenever I've listened to music without interruptions (without pausing) no hangups occur.
Anyway, changing sound system to OSS in Wine solves the problem like suggested by CarlHoerberg. -
Inappropriate?Will test change to OSS driver, will write some feedback in a week or so
-
Inappropriate?I'm having this problem quite severely... at best i can play one song and then the second song will stall at about 30 seconds and i'll have to restart, and at worse it stalls after 30 seconds of the first song... I have just had to restart spotify 4 times and have only played 3 songs...
I'll try switching to OSS too -
Inappropriate?It had worked for me since I changed to OSS driver in winecfg.
32bit Ubuntu 9.04 on Thinkpad T61P...
I’m Pleased
-
Inappropriate?mine didn't work switchng to OSS but did work when i left ALSA on and also turned on OSS
-
Inappropriate?I've tried checking both OSS and ALSA, and just OSS, neither works for me. Went back to just ALSA, got sound but the music stops and I have to restart spotify each couple of songs or so. Any other ways around this problem?
-
Inappropriate?I have this problem. It is very annoying. I have found switching to the eSound driver seems to work, but it is unreliable and does not appear to work on all systems.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?I solved this problem by updating wine to latest development version, 1.1.31.

-
Inappropriate?Audio stop after fast-forwarding or playing for a couple of minutes.
Choosing something else than ALSA or not setting anything at all after a clean WINE install (defalt OSS?) does the trick. -
Inappropriate?It seems to work for me too, after upgrading Wine.
-
Inappropriate?Now when I upgraded to wine 1.2 beta everything works, tried a 24h continuously play
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Changing Wine config to OSS stopped me from losing Spotify sound, but...
...now after using Spotify/Wine I lose sound in Firefox flash content (like YouTube). Seems odd but it does happen, and on more than one machine too. Grrrr... -
Inappropriate?steve_suomi:
Correct me if I'm wrong but OSS doesn't provide a mixer, thus only allowing one sound source at a time. Use Pulse, ALSA or any other that works. -
Inappropriate?Just to clarify...
Start Firefox. test sound (youtube). Works OK.
Start Spotify/Wine. test sound, works OK
Test Firefox sound, now it's gone.
Shutdown Spotify/Wine, test Firefox sound. Still gone! -
Inappropriate?Download PlayOnLinux (something as winedoors or crossover) Install Spotify with PlayOnLinux and then in options choose Wine 1.1.31 instead of system. and in cfg usse oss.
This solved all my problems with Spotify and Ubuntu 9.10
Best regards. -
Inappropriate?I changed hardware accelaration in Wine from 'full' to 'emulated'. This seems to have solved the problem for me under Ubuntu 9.10 using Wine 1.0.1. Using ALSA, not OSS.
