Reborn doesn't do any sound work directly, it uses SDL for sound on Linux, so Reborn has limited influence over what is happening with sound. We didn't update SDL in the last Reborn update so it's unclear what would have changed. Do any other games or SDL applications work?
Did anything else update on your system around the same time as the Reborn update?
I tested it with several games:
Guns of Icarus Online - works
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - does not work
Half-Life 2 - does not work
Arma 3 - does not work
It is propably a problem with my system, even though I have no idea what problem it is and how to fix it.
Did Steam itself update? It's possible there's a Steam runtime issue. You could try posting in steam-for-linux and maybe other people with similar behavior can comment.
Yes, Steam has updated recetly. I can not say for sure if that is the cause since I have not used my computer for almost 5 days. The Steam update could have been released at any time - before or after the Dota 2 update. I am going to check the steam-for-linux issue tracker.
steam-for-linux#4139 seems close to what you're seeing.
It is indeed a Steam Runtime problem. An update for ALSA has been released (1.1.0), which is not compatible with Steam yet. There is an issue open on the steam-for-linux tracker:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/4139
I have fixed the problem by launching Steam with this parameter:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libasound.so.2
Therefore, my entire launch command for Steam is:
sh -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libasound.so.2 STEAM_FRAME_FORCE_CLOSE=1 steam' %U
I am sorry for not doing a proper research ^^
OK, closing this out.
The sound stopped working after the last update. I am not sure whether it is a problem with my system or if there is an issue with the game. Other applications work quite well.
I have tried restarting my system, reinstalling ALSA utilities and recompiling the lastest kernel.
