No audio in games unless i keep switching audio devices?

Hi,

I’m having an odd bug when trying to play games through Steam. Upon launch they will have no audio and i will have to switch audio sources and back again using the applet in KDE. Sometimes this solves the issue but most the time the audio disappears again when returning to the game, leaving me to repeat this until everything is finally working.

Interestingly enough this issue goes away if i install pulseaudio so it’s presumably an issue with pipewire? Is there a package i could be missing maybe or is this just a bug?

Cheers

Hi,
I just found this: [Solved] No audio with Linux/Pipewire :: Rail Route: The Story of Jozic General Discussions

Could that be your issue/did you try that already?

Besides that: Any errors in the terminal when you start steam/your game from there?

Also some hardware information would be good

inxi -Fz

should give an sufficient output of your hardware
