Fallout 4: no sound on Lutris/Wine

Problem

I was running Fallout 4 from Lutris under lutris-GE-Proton7-37 runner.

There were some sounds, but not all of them: no background music, no charactar replics.

Problem is common, and there actualy was a solution.

But it was for Steam and Proton, my problem was with Lutris.

First thing I tried is just simply to run something like this:

WINEPREFIX=~/path_to_game_prefix/ WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" wine ~/path_to_fallout4.exe

It didn’t work for me, and this is why: I was running my local Wine installation.

To make it work I needed to run it under lutris-GE-Proton7-37 installation.

So the working command was:

WINEPREFIX=~/path_to_game_prefix/ \
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" \
~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-GE-Proton7-37-x86_64/bin/wine \
~/path_to_fallout4.exe

Also there is another way to set override:

WINEPREFIX=~/path_to_game_prefix/ \
~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-GE-Proton7-37-x86_64/bin/winecfg

And then go to Libraries tab, and set xaudio2_6 and xaudio2_7 to "native, then built in".
