Steam Deck not working about nfsiise HOT 9 CLOSED

AFAIK Steam Deck runs modified Arch Linux. Does it use pipewire or pulseaudio? Can you check if you have 32-bit SDL2 and pipewire/pulseaudio libs installed?

from nfsiise.

using pactl info command, it shows Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.45). Can you help me how to check the above libraries..?

from nfsiise.

Ok, so you have PipeWire. I don't know why you don't have sound. Check:

• if you have nfs2se on the audio application list (e.g. pavucontrol) and it's not muted
• look if you have env | grep SDL_AUDIODRIVER
• install some libs from: lib32-pipewire, lib32-pulse, lib32-alsa-lib
• to use native pipewire with SDL2, run: SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pipewire nfs2se (requires lib32-pipewire), otherwise it will fallback to pulseaudio (via pipewire, lib32-pulse), otherwise it will fallback to alsa (via pipewire, requires lib32-alsa-lib and pipewire-alsa)

from nfsiise.

• no the application is not muted
• nothing in the env output
• unfortunately you cannot install extra libraries on SteamOs (the filesystem is locked, and i am afraid to mess with it)

1. Packages (1) lib32-pipewire-1:0.3.44-1 (it is not installed)
2. warning: lib32-alsa-lib-1.2.6.1-1 is up to date
3. error: target not found: lib32-pulse

• SDL_Init failed: Audio target 'pipewire' not available
• the output of the executable states the following:
  ALSA lib conf.c:4110:(config_file_load) cannot stat file/directory /etc/alsa/conf.d
  ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1032:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
  ALSA lib conf.c:4110:(config_file_load) cannot stat file/directory /etc/alsa/conf.d

• sorry, lib32-libpulse - check this package

Something is wrong with 32-bit audio on this OS. Maybe try to run:
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse nfs2se ?

from nfsiise.

lib32-libpulse-15.0-1 is not installed... as i mentioned we cannot upgrade system files on steamdeck.
trying with =pulse and it fails :(
SDL_Init failed: Failed loading pa_get_library_version: ./nfs2se: undefined symbol: _pa_get_library_version

from nfsiise.

The last chance is SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa nfs2se

Looks like something is wrong with SteamOS libraries (undefined symbol: _pa_get_library_version shouldn't happen). Maybe try to download and unpack all needed 32-bit libraries to a directory and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH there?

Maybe try also to add "Non-Steam Game" and set compatibility to Steam Linux Runtime?

omg ! i have sound!!!
i did added nf2se as a non steam game and i set compatibility to "steam linux runtime" and it worked!
