So, I took a look here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=157364
and found that editing launchers like this:
bash -c "env STEAM_RUNTIME=1 SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa steam steam://rungameid/440"
will enable sound on these kind of games.
It's probably related to pulseaudio, although there are no pulseaudio related errors even with debug enabled.
Also if you have a newer version of ALSA than steam ships with (I have 1.1.0), you can fix sound by running steam like this:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libasound.so.2 steam
Unfortunately this solution doesn't work either:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libasound.so.2 steam
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libasound.so.2' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libasound.so.2 steam
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib32/libasound.so.2' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
@cyberalex4life I got a similar error, but guess what? Sound worked. Did you actually test that?
Also it would help if you wrapped all your long code pastes in 3 backticks (```).
I tested, yes.
I have modified /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. I'm posting the content, just in case:

Ah, well I don't have pulseaudio here and everything is working. ;-)

Hello @cyberalex4life, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?
Hello @kisak-valve, I've moved from Manjaro or Arch based distro's quite a long ago, so, like in Mission Impossible, can't confirm or deny :). I am on Ubuntu 18.04, and things look OK here from this perspective.
Thanks for the feedback @alexandrupetrini. Since this issue report was active, the way Steam handles the Steam runtime has changed to prefer system libraries over the runtime, which could have mitigated the most common scenario for this issue.
If anyone is still experiencing this issue with a Source 1 based game, please use the Source-1-Games issue tracker.
