No Sound on Proton Emulated Games
Hello!
Since I installed Ubuntu 24.04.4 onto my computer, I've been unable to get sound on games emulated using Proton, namely Deltarune and The Binding of Isaac Repentance +.
I've tried using Proton versions 10.0-4, 9.0-4, and a few others I can't remember
Disclaimer, I'm mainly going to speak about Deltarune for what happens since I haven't tested The binding of Isaac that much and want to return it if I can't get this fixed
When loading into Deltarune it will play that starting sound effect when loading into chapter 4 and from then on it will display a blank screen and two windows. After a while of telling the game to wait as opposed to force quitting it will finally load into the game without sound.
Whenever Steam sound stops it kills audio for my entire computer until the game is closed. I had this issue with Terraria (Launched through tModLoader) and it was fixed through this launch command:
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa %command%
But this does nothing for TBoI or Deltarune.
I'm currently running Pipewire for sound
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.0.7)
I would happily paste log output from these games, but even after telling proton to log output, nothing has happened.
Thank you so much to anybody who responds! I've been dealing with this issue for months now and I really want to play Deltarune Chapter 5 before I get spoiled!
Edit:
have installed pipewire-pulse, pipewire-alsa, and pipewire-jack
