• Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

I keep losing sound randomly in the game, seems the sound lags/spikes mildly before doing so.
The workaround is to DISABLE and ENABLE the device in pavucontrol.

I've had this issue for months at minimum.

This is the only way to get the sound back besides restarting the game, no audio settings in the game will re-enable the audio.

This sometimes happens very often until I reboot my entire system, once every couple minutes.

I am on Arch Linux and using pipewire-pulse and the game is being ran with %command% -nojoy parameters.

EDIT: Switching to Pro Audio can (sometimes?) also fix the sound, possibly permanently?

I think we might have the same issue mentioned in here not a day ago

Which HyperX do you have because I'm having a similar issue with HyperX Cloud II(2) (Kingston Version(HP bought HyperX off of Kingston so we have "'HyperX Cloud II' by Kingston"(from before they got bought) and "'HyperX Cloud II' by HP". I know it's a mess)

Exact same one, using the USB sound card.

Pro Audio seems to be a 100% workaround so far.

I have no idea what Pro Audio is😂😂

Profile for the USB sound card, set it in pwvucontrol.
