The Wine 4.3 development release is quite an interesting one, as it includes Ethan Lee's XAudio reimplementation named FAudio.
Quite a big one, since FAudio could help with a lot of audio issues in games and applications. From Lee's own FAudio GitHub page, it notes (for those who didn't already know) the aim is to have "fully accurate DirectX Audio runtime libraries" which includes "XAudio2, X3DAudio, XAPO, and XACT3".
Aside from FAudio, this release also includes:
- Mono engine updated to the latest upstream.
- More modern handling of iconic windows.
- Improved handling of kernel objects.
There's also 45 bugs that were noted as fixed this round. Included in the fixes are bugs squashed with League of Legends, BattlEye, Heroes of Might and Magic VI, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood and others too.
See their release announcement here.

In other issues with this wine coolermaster hyper t4 used with core i3 8350K tri-core 5.0ghz will be upgraded to zalman cnps 10x performa+ (gain around 5 to 6 degrees less)
Maybe in future cooler can be upgraded too for masterfan pro 120 air balance 84CFM:
And tower is upgraded too

Quoting: GuestThis is huge. It will make a lot of games go from silver to gold or even to platinum on protondb.You are correct. The wine bug tracker is about ready to explode! I'm compiling FAudio/Wine 4.3 right now.

Fix 41670 BattlEye launcher stuck at 'Starting BattlEye Service...' (PUBG, Planetside2, H1Z1: King of the Kill, Tibia 11)
and
Fix 45841 Battleye's BEDaisy.sys requires that PsThreadType and PsProcessType are defined
Has anyone tried to start PUBG with it yet? That has failed so far because of this bug:

I tried it out without the staging patches and I don't hear audio for 'Far Cry 4', beyond the videos.
So, nothing has changed for me. I'm thinking that SDL2 might be misconfigured. I'm after debians build
logs for sdl2, namely the configure line. I use pulse when compiling wine but I'll try it without it.

Is this implementation of Faudio in Wine 4.3 compiled with ffmpeg support?

If you stay using steam on wine maybe can appear odd behaviour: consist steamwebhelper (wine create 2 process of steamwebhelper) up cpu usage and on /bin/cef/cef.win7/ on steam folder
Create debug file and grow very quickly (in my case in 2 min up to 2.2gb and more)
If appear before cited behaviour, kill steamwebhelper process with higher cpu usage (another process dont need kill it) and on /bin/cef/cef.win7/ see if have debug file and follow to delete it and delete chrome_elf and libcef.dll
Before cited steps with steam opened and logged
