    Kubuntu Lutris WoW sound deteriorating

    Hi, I installed World of Warcraft using Lutris and everything runs perfectly for the first 15 minutes then the sound deteriorates into crackling so badly I have to play without sound. Not ideal.

    I'm running Kubuntu 24.04.1 LTS with the Nvidia 550.107.02 driver. Sound is an onboard Intel chip by default. Everything is up to date.

    I've used Pipewire, ALSA, Pulse audio. I've tried different sound cards (even speakers fwiw). Nothing has worked.

    If anyone could solve this for me they would be instantly on my Xmas card list

    Thanks in advance.

    SOLVED: In Wine's advanced configuration settings inside Lutris there is an option to change audio runner to ALSA

    Many thanks to Claydoh and Virginio.

    Could this be the problem and there is a conflict?

    aplay -l

      I believe not. It seems OK.

        Is the problem only happens with WW using Lutris? What about the others fonts of audio?

        check this output:

        $ inxi -xxz --audio

        check this too:

        $ systemctl --user status pulseaudio​

        and

        $ systemctl --user status pipewire ​

            Try different runners, as well as changing the runner's audio driver to alsa or other things
            Sound issues in WoW seem to be common over many many years.

                Somewhere in the runner settings, I don't have Lutiris installed on this system, and I sold off my gaming PC stuff. It see what I can do for screenshot. It may taker a spell as I am on a slow mobile connection.
                And Lutris reallllyyyy lacks any sort of doumentation

                  It says I have Wine and Linux as runners. When I go into Preferences there's no listing for alsa or anything sound related. Thanks for your help

                    Each runner, whether wine, or GE-Proton or similar will have configuration settings (a gear icon or similar), not general preferences.
                    (still downloading lutris.....)

                      You Sir are a genius. I watched the video and found the ALSA runner buried in advanced settings.

                      Thank you very very much

                        Good lord, no
                        I just know how to recognize some gold, silver, or copper in a landfill.

                        Hopefully it has fixed things for you.
