Source Engine games have no sound

General system Gaming, sound and video

Hey all,
I’m out of ideas so I’ll try posting here. Hopefully someone can figure out what’s wrong with my config.

I am running Latest EndeavourOS (arch: 6.5.9-arch2-1) with Pipewire (1:0.3.83-1) and Wireplumber (0.4.15-1) on Intel 10700kf and AMD Radeon 6700xt

pipewire and pipewire-pulse is running correctly.
Every other app besides source games have audio.
Source Engine games show up in qpwgraph but have no audio output.
I have tried setting environment variables:
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa (also pipewire and pulseaudio)
AUDIODEV=Live

I tried using apulse to re-wire from pulseaudio
I tried deleting wireplumber config

When i run snd_restart in tf2 console, the game freezes (crashes rather)

The game used to work fine with the same config before i reinstalled the os…

p.s.:
Tf2’s latest update has an issue with libtcmalloc, i had to manually replace it with another source game’s lib, but i don’t think that should be the problem.

have you inspected your journal to see what the issue could be?

maybe try typing
journalctl -g “pipewire” see if you are getting errors during the module loads.

Or does it need the 32 bit modules? Just a thought.

There aren’t any errors in the journal.

I have installed the lib32 pipewire, alsa, and libpulse packages. Still doesn’t work :frowning:
