No sound in Teamfortress 2

I installed the steam beta yesterday through software.opensuse.org:

The next bit might help others too.
After the installation, I tried to start steam, but nothing happened.

I rebooted my pc, and tried again, when I started steam it started to update. :slight_smile:

After this steam started and Teamfortress2 was there for me to download ( the only game in my library already ported)

I do not have sound in TF2.
I already looked around the web and this forum.

I found some solution, but I do not understand them.

Another problem, some tell me to do something bla bla bla pulse audio, were other say something like bla bla bla alsa.

Both cant be right ?

The solutions talk about , as far as I understand it, adding a line.

I am however totally lost on were and how.

From the github ? (the official place to report bugs) they told me:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux

crashes in libcef.so

Although I am happy with this fast reply, I have no idea on what to do with it.
And I am wondering, I had to use ctrl+alt+ esp to quit tf2, could that be that crash report ?

About the sound issue, It’s only in steam. I can watch vids and listen to mp3 without any problems.
LMMS is working fine too.

Hi
So what is the output from;


LD_DEBUG=libs steam

Assuming that’s the command that starts steam up (I don’t have it
installed).

I do not understand much from that output, but there are no errors ?

Do you have alsa-plugins-pulse-32bit installed?

EDIT:
Also, you need to run steam like that:

SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa steam

:slight_smile: That did the trick, I now have sound in teamfortress 2.

I could not join any servers though, will check tomorrow if this a coincidence or a real problem.

It said I was not logged on to steam lol. This is the output of teh command

xxxx@linux-0iwr:~> SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio
steam Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1355957371_client)
Looks like steam didn't shutdown cleanly, scheduling immediate update  check Installing breakpad exception handler for  appid(steam)/version(1355957371_client)

Today I tried (no sound) to join a server.

That worked. Then shutdown steam, en typed the command SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa steam

The output, although I do not really understand it, is almost the same as yesterday.

I noticed an interesting difference though. It complained about alsa.

The difference with yesterday is, that yesterday, I had amarok running…

I also noticed allot of ( OpenGl ) errors but I do not undertand the code enough, to see if this is normal or that I need more libs.

example:
ERROR: ld.so: object ‘gameoverlayrenderer.so’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

This system DOES NOT support the OpenGL extension GL_APPLE_fence. This system DOES NOT support the OpenGL extension GL_NV_fence.

(saw this one yesterday too)

I have those installed but I added some 32 bit package called extra 32 alsa libs.
32 bit alsa OS was also already installed.

Today found some pulse 32 bit libs too installed those too.

Then on the commandline:
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa steam

Then waited for steam to start. and left the command line open. When steam started, I went to my games library and started TF2. This time I had sound and even more important was able to join a server. ! ! ! ! ! woot Played for about an hour or so. No problems, graphics and sound are fine.

After playing quitting looked normal, but when I checked the command line, there is a crash. As far as I can see it was uploaded successful. When playing made a screenshot, and uploaded it to the cloud. All working great.

Also reported this on the git hub.

What file do I add SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa steam to?

I made some progress.
Some one on the steam forums asked why I used alsa, and not pulse.
I answered, that some one told me so, but, although I hardly know what I am doing,
I know alsa and pulse are not the same.

I tried:

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio and export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa

Then started steam, with the shortcut created in the suse menu.

No sound in TF2.

When I after one of the above, it does not matter ( steam TF2 wise )
Do

SDL_AUDIODRIVER= alsa steam

Steam starts and I have sound in game.

Then started to wonder, and rebooted pc:

When I only do

SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio steam
Steam starts, quite fast, and I can play TF2 with sound.
(no space between pulse and audio)

Would be cool to add, but I just noticed something. There is a steam client update.

On a side note:
When you once type something on the command line it remembers.
( the last 10 ? )

Also after a reboot, you can still use the up and down arrow keys, to find SDL_AUDI… pulseaudio steam :stuck_out_tongue:

youre supposed to type this ( or copy it ) on the commandline.

If you change the steam launcher command to SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio steam you get sound. No need to edit any other files.

the shell file that you run it with.
example:
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa steam
