Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I'm using an external soundcard (Tascam Model 12) with the "Pro Audio" setting in Linux, it is detected ingame under audio options as "Model 12" but I can't get any audio.
I initially thought this was due to audio going to HDMI, as Steam System Information initially reported the audio interface to be my graphics card. I have since disabled snd_hda_intel
and now the audio interface in Steam System Information shows up as "USB Mixer" instead, but the issue persists.
checking soundinfo
ingame gives me this:
[SoundSystemLowLevel] SDL Audio Device: (status: 0, driver: pipewire)
[SoundSystemLowLevel] 2 channels, 0 bits per sample, 0 Hz
[SoundSystemLowLevel] Status: 0, 0 (mix channels:0)
[SoundSystem] Device active: 0.00s. Active Voices: 5
If I change from "Pro Audio" to "Analog Stereo Output" I get sound ingame, but I'd rather want to keep using "Pro Audio" if possible.
soundinfo
after changing to Analaog Stereo Output:
[SoundSystemLowLevel] SDL Audio Device: Model 12 Analog Stereo (status: 1, driver: pipewire)
[SoundSystemLowLevel] 2 channels, 32 bits per sample, 48000 Hz
[SoundSystemLowLevel] Status: 406, 750 (mix channels:2)
[SoundSystem] Device active: 8.71s. Active Voices: 3
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- Use external soundcard (Tascam model 12) with the "Pro Audio" setting
- launch cs2
- Observe a lack of sound
Update: I've resolved my issues by adding
export SDL_AUDIO_DRIVER=alsa
to cs2.sh
