don't use the dxgi file for GTA IV
I have no replication of this issue.
GTA IV does weird stuff when you alt-tab, especially on Windows. There should be no way that DXVK ever influences sound and I have no idea what is going on.
I have a reproduction, its probably window handle related.
Also having this issue, replicated it in the first attempt. Loading screen music and a few other small sounds in-game seem like they might break too.
on linux too
also when using wine d3d
not on older versions of the game (i tested 1.0.7.0.)
the older versions seem to be more stable with alt tabbing
Yes, other people have found that out before. It's some change in the update that removed GFWL.
The issue doesn't happen for me on newest game version (1.0.8.0) on Linux but it exists on Windows 10. For me it seems it's related to the freeze during loading missions after alt-tabbing out of the game.
Just tested it, this problem no longer happens with DXVK 1.9.3.

Just tested now with 1.9.4 and really this is fixed ! I wonder what was the issue there...
Nothing extracted yet.
There is a minor issue with GTA IV Complete edition where if you alt-tab out of the game, all menu sounds will disappear until you restart the game. This can be easily reproduced in the main menu, just start up the game, alt-tab in and back out, and move around in the menus and hear no sound. I have tested this on 2 PCs with one other person reporting it as well.
