[3rd party games] Audio not starting when game is launched from Steam

[ozone89]

Referring to those two titles in particular, may affect others as well http://store.steampowered.com/app/369120 http://store.steampowered.com/app/351790

When the game is launched from Steam, I get no sound. But if I start them from their directories, they work as intended.

latest client version, Arch64 fully updated

I get the same with a handful of other games (Cities: Skylines, AdVenture Capitalist, Kairo, Robocraft). Doesn't seem to be related to #3376 or #3504, at least the work-around listed there doesn't work for this. (Also, it works fine on my laptop which is pretty much the same setup as the machine where the sound doesn't work; I'm not sure what the difference is between them. :/ )

ran steam via console and launched the game, here's the console output relevant to the game in OP

again, the game works fine when launched straight from its directory
