The problem was already reported and resolved here (remove the space from the link to view):

https://github.com /ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/346

I think for now we should just put a warning in the Wiki (on the FAQ and manual install instructions) and the installer, so Linux users can take actions themselves if necessary.

TODO:

• Write up a short warning message/how to fix issue
• Add FAQ item
• Add warning to manual install instructions
• Add warning to installer

• I'm assuming this applies to the Question Arcs as well? but not sure

  I guess technically the new ponscripter executables might fix the issue, if we ever go that route.

Oh, I'm running into this problem right now, also with the Answers arcs - the solution described in the link (deleting libraries other than libsteam_api from lib64) unfortunately did not help in my case.

$ sudo apt install libogg0

libogg0 is already the newest version (1.3.5-0ubuntu3).

Not sure what to do now. I guess I should be running it in Proton and reinstalling the mod files with that quick-fix option checked...?

Oh, I'm a fool. Partway through troubleshooting, I must've pressed "M" to (un)mute the sound some odd number of times.
