I've installed steam and Half Life 1 but there is no sound (no music and no sound effects).

Reading another issues, I tried to start with SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa and SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio, with the same result (no audio).

Somebody can help me?

Terminal output starting only with steam:

Nobody??

Jjohndrinkwater 2013-04-04 github

Any changes here? Do you have audio with pulseaudio in other games and on the desktop ?

Ppaul-vg 2013-04-05 github

Try this:
echo 'autospawn = no' >.pulse/client.conf pulseaudio -k

To undo:

rm .pulse/client.conf pulseaudio -D

After one of system or steam updates I got similar problem on Linux debian 3.10-3-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.10.11-1 (2013-09-10) i686 GNU/Linux

No sound in Half-Life and Portal. Non-Valve steam games seems to have sound.

I use just alsa, not pulseaudio.
My alsa deriver:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k3.10-3-686-pae.

My alsa library version: 1.0.27.2

Just found a trick - setting STEAM_RUNTIME=0 helps for Portal2. Can't check Half-Life now.

Hello @maxbrunner, @FreeSlave, are either of you still experiencing this issue with an up to date system?

FFreeSlave 2017-04-13 github

No, I have not experienced this problem in Half-Life for a long time. I don't even remember the moment when it got fixed.

Mmaxbrunner 2017-04-13 github

@kisak-valve I'm not playing Half-Life on Ubuntu for a while now. But I also remember playing it with sound, so it should be ok.

Thanks for the feedback, closing.
