Yea, I skipped playing mostly due to that. Without VAC there's not much point. Bots or cheat-competition servers/lobbies, lol.

Same here, actually - no sound. I don't even see the application in pavucontrol; even though the game sees my devices, it doesn't claim them?

I'm using pipewire for audio so passing `-sdlaudiodriver pipewire` to the game fixed it for me.

Ditto, actually - pavucontrol just leverages the Pulseaudio-speak it's aware of.

Thank you, that worked! Happy fragging :)

edit: If anyone notices laggy audio, try going to the audio settings and switching devices from 'auto' to the one you want

Now I only hope for the Wayland "allow tearing" feature for disabling of vsync to actually be able to properly play it on Linux. It is merged everywhere (wayland, xwayland, mesa, etc.) but I know Gnome will be the last to implement it, maybe in a couple years time. They can't even merge the variable refresh rate patches which have been waiting for years. :(

I just bought a Linux gaming rig as a refresh (buh-bye Windows)... There is a lot to learn.

Odd that this fix is necessary given that the Steam Deck uses PipeWire.
