If you are using pipewire add -sdlaudiodriver pipewire to your CS 2 launch options.

For those using gamemoderun it would look like this: gamemoderun %command% -sdlaudiodriver pipewire

      Oh, dope, thanks! I hope this doesn’t fuck up anything that’s hardcoded to expect Pulse or something, but I guess I’ll find out.

    For flatpak steam, you need to run this:

    flatpak override --user --filesystem=/run/user/1000/pipewire-0 com.valvesoftware.Steam

    Then -sdlaudiodriver pipewire launch option will work.

    Yeah, seems like it is preferring the ALSA backend. Sound initially worked for me because I had pipewire-alsa installed, but I couldn’t do anything to change the volume.
