Opensuse 12.2 KDE 4.10 64 Bit

I have an USB Headset (Razer Megaladon) and pulse wont detected it within Hot Plug.
So i have to restart Pulse Audio any time with pulseaudio -k, after it pulse find it easy.

So i just find out when i start Steam with 'SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio steam' after restart pulse, steam isn’t able to connect to Pulse.

It says: Zugriff verweigert (access denied).

So i don´t get Sound anymore :(

Best Solution i found is to Relogging in to my Account.
But that is not very useful.

Try this:

STEAM_RUNTIME=0 SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio steam

And let us know how this works.

Thanks.

Sry, i was a little bit busy last days^^

'STEAM_RUNTIME=0 SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio steam'

Cause this error:

/home/kaito/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam: error while loading shared libraries: libXdmcp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Than it starts with Runtime on.

libXdmcp6 is installed on Opensuse 12.2 64 there:

/usr/lib64/libXdmcp.so.6
/usr/lib64/libXdmcp.so.6.0.0

But my Bug seems Fixed with last Updates!

Thanks, now i can fully enjoy Steam on Linux ;)
