I found the issue: HL2 is muted by pulseaudio, increasing the volume in the gnome mixer gives me back my sound
Can this issue be closed then? It seems to be a pulseaudio behaviour for some people https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/352732
Closing as this appears inactive.
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudiox1 2013-05
Just installed the new HL2 Games. Unfortunatly i don't have any sound or music.
I'm using Archlinux 64Bit with pulseaudio. Running steam with wine works just fine. I don't see any sound related error in the log. I tried forcing it to use pulseaudio with:
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio
but it made no difference.
Here's the log:
