Issue Report

steam-400940.log

Symptoms

When playing Budget Cuts (tried The Lab as well) there's a constant crackling sound coming from both speakers. The crackling goes away when using an older version of Proton (5.0-10 doesn't have audio issues). Native games also don't have any audio crackling. Leading me to believe it's an issue with Proton 5.13-2.

Of note, the audio works fine until step 3 below. Once the audio starts crackling though it doesn't stop until I reboot SteamVR.

Reproduction

  1. Launch SteamVR.
  2. Swap audio output source to VR headset.
  3. Launch Budget Cuts from SteamVR home.
