It's a miracle we can still post to the forum with a full disk, maybe the database uses another disk ?
Anyway here is a mega.nz link for now : https://mega.nz/file/OYVAXI4b#uMADM9P6tyzFjRN3kUj90s1spQKI-B188WSJmvIBYDE

Thank you so much for providing this new test build, Tux!

I tried it here and everything seems rightly fixed. The sound device auto-detection works perfectly between different sound output devices set in the Windows desktop. So my problem is finally solved!

My last request related to this new feature is that the "Auto-detect" option became the default option in Raine for new configuration files. This way users wouldn't have to worry about setting this up and possibly coming across the "no sound" issue which happened to me when switching between different devices. The "Auto-detect" option may also work in your mini PC as well as in every other context by default, so I suppose it's safe to have it as the default option at least in new configuration files, no? This way Raine would also follow what other emulators do in relation to this option.

Please let me know what you think about this suggestion.

Except that, I think I may have found the last bug related to the "black frame/black border around the game picture" issue. Yes, I found a new way to trigger it. Here is how to reproduce it:

- run Raine and toggle full-screen mode either by using Alt+Enter or the Full-screen option in Video options menu;
- save your configuration by using the Quit function;
- reopen Raine and load a game;
- when you leave the GUI, you may notice the game picture has now the black frame/black border around the game picture;

Black frame/black border around the picture:

Here's a quick video of me reproducing it in case you need:

I came across this bug by trying to create a "perfect configuration file" without even loading a game first. So I went to full-screen and quit to save the configuration, then when I came back to finally load a game, I noticed the black frame around the picture was surprisingly back!

Anyway, you should be able to reproduce it easily in your setup hopefully. The black frame may be less noticeable if you use a 16:10 aspect ratio monitor, but it will be there too.

Thank you so much again for your various recent improvements in Raine emulator.

1) autodetect as default : we used the other way for years and you are the 1st to have a problem with that, I think we can keep the old default for now, I prefer to see precisely my soundcard name when I go to options.

2) your haunting black border : well not for me in linux. Maybe it's windows only... I am terribly tempted to simply stop to support windows, what a marvelous idea it would be ! I might try that in windows later, but for now in linux :

1) removed my config file, started raine, went to fullscreen loaded dino, took a screenshot of the title screen, then quit
2) run raine again in the same config, loaded dino, took the same screenshot, got exactly the same picture, end of the test for now.

... and same result in windows, same picture in both case (compared the files they are identical).

got it, I hadn't the latest binary in windows, it's still the same old problem because I changed the way to get the screen coordinates, in windows we get the height of an invisible windows title bar added, not in linux. 1 line fix, a function name instead of another, but it's really annoying.

At least the site is fixed, back with some disk space, you can get the ultimate test binary there : https://raine.1emulation.com/archive/tux/raine.7z
