Good day.
I have several sound issues, that were not there before, when running certain video games. Everything was fine until a few weeks ago.
The problem is only related to programs using Wine.
I have used Lutris (Official and Flatpak) and also WineStaging directly, but the issues persist.
MIDI music does not play anymore in old games.
Some games have stuttering sound now.
Some games have delayed sound now.
Some games still run fine.
Here is my system info:

What can I do to have the sound functioning normally again?
