So, can I get a Regression label, since older Proton versions give sound, yet the later versions don't?
Hello @AlleyDismay, while regressions do get evaluated in Proton Experimental, by definition Proton Experimental is unstable and in constant flux. We don't use the Regression label there because it can quickly become outdated and quietly get fixed without getting noted here on the issue tracker.
If you can reproduce an issue with a newer point release of Proton, and also provide a working reference point (you already have), then I can add regression label.
@kisak-valve - Makes sense. Just checked and 7.0.6 has the same issues.
@AlleyDismay Is the sound still an issue for you with Proton 8.0-4? I can't seem to reproduce the mentioned regression with the sound.
If you are still able to reproduce the issue, can you try deleting the prefix in ~/andy/local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/ by deleting the directory 607040?
What speakers/headphones do you have plugged into your device?
@AJuujarvi - Still an issue. Experimental has text now, but no background music which I confirmed exists on Windows. The background music on the title screen seems to be "The Last Heroes" in Audio/BGM. Other than that, does the following info help?
`~$ aplay -l

@AlleyDismay I somehow fixed my broken text, but my audio is still working unlike yours. I am wondering if you could share with me some info about your localconfig.vdf file. To get to it, we need to check your Friend Code. In Steam, click on the "Friends" tab at the very top, then click "Add Friend". You will see a Friend Code. Now in your file explorer, go to ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/[Insert Friend Code here]/config. There you will see your localconfig.vdf file. I am wondering if you have "UnlockedH264Feature" "1" in that file, which should be found near the top. Probably row 7, under the "streaming_v2" section. Do you have that at all?
@AJuujarvi - Looks like it has what you said?
UserLocalConfigStore
streaming_v2
"EnableStreaming" "1"
"QualityPreference" "2"
"P2PScope" "2"
"ClientConfig" "0802900102"
"P2PScopeV2" "0"
"UnlockedH264Feature" "1"`
@AlleyDismay Thank you! Last thing for now, can you get a log with Proton 8.0-4 by putting in PROTON_LOG=+quartz,+strmbase,+strmbase_qc,+gstreamer,+amstream,+qcap,+qcap_v4l,+qedit,+mciqtz,+mci,+mfplat,+evr,+dxva2,+wmvcore %command% in the boot options for the game and attaching it?
I had compared a log I got with one of your logs and the main difference seemed to be something quartz related not loading specific things for some reason. Hopefully those logging channels will help figure it out.
@AJuujarvi - This should be it? steam-607040 - Quartz and Stuff.log
Works in 9.0-4 as far as getting past the Opening Cutscene and the ability to save, and can get to Start Screen in Experimental, so I assume it works there too!

I confirm:
steam-607040.zip - Proton Experimental
steam-607040 - Proton 7.0.6.zip
steam-607040 - Proton 5.13.6.zip
Symptoms
No text. And no sound unless on earlier Proton versions such as 6.3-8 or 5.13.6.

Launch the game. The start screen has no text, and no sound on latest Proton versions, and the opening, accessed with the first option, also has no visible text.
It seems fine in Windows 10, however.
