Hi,

when I run "steam client" on a linux without pulseaudio installed, I get this error :
PulseAudio connect failed (used only for Mic Volume Control) with error: Access denied

Is it possible to make steam client work witout pulseaudio ?

Cheers

This is not a fatal error, I use steam with alsa all the time, it's just that steam will use pulseaudio by default if it is available.

Are you having audio issues? If not I'll close this as not-a-bug.
