If you are using pipewire
add -sdlaudiodriver pipewire
to your CS 2 launch options.
For those using gamemoderun
it would look like this: gamemoderun %command% -sdlaudiodriver pipewire
You should also be able to set the
SDL_AUDIODRIVER
environment variable topipewire
to get this effect globally.Oh, dope, thanks! I hope this doesn't fuck up anything that's hardcoded to expect Pulse or something, but I guess I'll find out.
For flatpak steam, you need to run this:
flatpak override --user --filesystem=/run/user/1000/pipewire-0 com.valvesoftware.Steam
Then
-sdlaudiodriver pipewire
launch option will work.This is happening with dota 2 as well, probably it was messed up on the engine level.
Yeah, seems like it is preferring the ALSA backend. Sound initially worked for me because I had
pipewire-alsa
installed, but I couldn't do anything to change the volume.
