i have the same problem, for me the game does not recognize the ALSA, the mic Is also does not work
Confirmed on Kubuntu 12.10 x86 with AMD Catalyst 13.1 running on the ASUS X53B. A bit outdated: https://gist.github.com/olavd/4377544. Sound passes through PulseAudio.
Nothing extracted yet.
In HL when I adjust the MP3 volume control in the audio settings it has no effect on the volume. This was tested by adjusting in the middle of playback as well as having a low volume set when the game loads.
However, the other volume controls do seem to have the desired effect on volume level, so this bug just affects the MP3 volume.
I am using pulseaudio.
