No Sound at All in Lubuntu, Linux, Steam release

[n5corp]

As the title says, game plays fine, but there's no sound to be found.

Validated the install, tried, no luck, uninstalled, reinstalled via Steam again, no joy.

What to do next?

What other details should I provide?

Otherwise, with various web browsers, other games, VLC, various music players, I have no sound issues. 

Thank you.

What linux distro you running?

[n5corp]

As the title stated, Lubuntu, but more specifically, the kernel is Linux 4.4.0-31-generic (x86_64), Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS.

Can you start steam with STEAM_RUNTIME=0 in front of the command?

My guess is steam is using newer libraries than your pulseaudio setup.

Alternatively, this one can work too, before steam command: SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa

Hi,

I have the same issue with Gentoo (and KDE). Other 21 games from Steam works fine so far.

What should I exactly do with those command fro previous post?

[notfood]

Edit the shortcut you use in your KDE application menu to something like this:

STEAM_RUNTIME=0 /usr/bin/steam

or

SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa /usr/bin/steam

[vylaern]

SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa /usr/bin/steam

^^ this one did not help

SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa /usr/bin/steam

^^ this one either code bellow

Can you post your debug log?  See link in sig.  Directions *might* be wrong for Steam Linux (it's untested), and if so I apologize (and please tell me so I can update them).  If directions are wrong, look for a path similar to non-Steam (but may be within the Steam folder somewhere).

Hello. Any news about this bug ? I have same problem on ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
The game is installed via steam. Completly no sound in the game.

Note: path of debug log is /tmp/rimworld_log

Actually I just got the corrected log path.  Your file will have *some* log info, but it's not the whole log file.

Steam Linux log file location:
/home/<UserName>/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/Player.log

Can you post that one?  Sorry for the prior incorrect info.

[alexx]

I can't find Player.log in the specified folder or the whole disc.

[alexx]

I experimented with running the game and found that Player.log is created only if you run the game from the console. If you run the game through steam then Player.log is missing.

I found a solution of problems with the sound by the link below. Maybe it will help someone else.

Note: It seems files in /tmp/rimworld_log and Player.log contain the same information.

@alexx:
Huh, I thought the /tmp/ one contained only a fragment(ish) of the actual log file.  *Shrug*  The more you know!

And thanks for the link to the unity forum!
