Your system information

Steam client version: 1701289036
SteamOS version: 20231116.1000
Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Yes
Opted into SteamOS beta?: [Yes/No] Yes Main
Have you checked for updates in Settings > System?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Game mode always thinks external audio is connected and even switching to speakers does not enable audio. Enabling speakers in desktop mode works but does not persist back into game mode.

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen.

Speaker Audio to work.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Be on Main client beta
Observe no audio

Hi Parker,

I'll try reproducing on my end. Would you mind submitting a system report using Settings -> System -> Advanced -> System Report -> Create Report in game mode?

parkerlreed commented 10 months ago

I just realized what it is.

Having pro audio enabled for the DisplayPort audio controller makes game mode think that there's an output when there isn't, and even setting to speakers does not correct it.

Setting that back to the individual output and then going back into game mode audio works correctly.

Good to hear. That being said- Explicitly setting the output to Speakers should override the external device, regardless of if there is an audio output attached over HDMI / USB. I haven't been able to reproduce it on my end this morning, would you mind submitting the system report mentioned above? Alternatively, if you can open a terminal (launching Konsole in desktop mode) and type in wpctl status and paste the results here, it would provide the same info I'd get from the system report.

Okay, with the Pro Audio enabled for DisplayPort and within Game Mode, and the speakers set as the output device, here is the log output (This is when I have no audio)
