Since the latest update, i don't have any sound in HL1 or CS 1.6 (in game and menu)

Archlinux 3.7.5

Edit : I don't have any sound in any games... and steam

I can confirm that, also using Archllinux.
When console is enabled ingame or in the game menu (e.g: CS beta) you'll see an error message while hovering over an menu entry.
I will post the message when I am at home again.

I don't have any error message in console :s
EDIT : If i launch the game (hl.sh) from terminal in "steam/steamApps/common/Half-Life", the sound works.
So i think this problem come from Steam and not from the game
When i type "soundinfo" in console, it says : "sound system not started"

Maybe because I started Counter-Strike in developer mode.
I'll check that asap ;)

Check out #1179 and see where that gets you.

Right ! If i put developer to 1 i get this error : "invalid sound sound/UI/buttonrollover.wav"
And each sound that should be executed make this kind of error "invalid sound XXX"

@MrSchism Thanks ! This issue fixed the problem !
First, download these 2 files :
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/steam-runtime-update.sh
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/steam-runtime-update.tar.gz

Exit steam and execute "sh steam-runtime-update.sh"
Start steam and enjoy !

Closing as dupe of 1179, then.
