Since yesterday (I haven't played in a while so I assume this broke in the last update), I have no sound in CS:CZ (Nor CS:CZ deleted scenes). Here is the output when launching one of those games:

Running Steam on debian  32-bit

Running Steam on debian  32-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME has been set by the user to: /home/achifaifa/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime
SDL_InitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_AUDIO) failed.

And the output when using soundinfo in the console in-game:

]soundinfo
sound system not started

My laptop is not very powerful, so I can't really try this on any other game, but after looking things up and finding issue #1179 (Plus plenty of duplicates, blog entries and other issues directly related to that one) I thought it may be related to the steam client.

Im using ALSA in a 32-bit debian testing machine.

I've tried the two major solutions to that issue.

• Setting the STEAM_RUNTIME env variable to 0: Steam did not start (No message, it just shuts down)
• Setting the SDL_AUDIODRIVER env variable to alsa: No visible effect

I'm not sure if this issue is the same as #1179 or something different (That one was almost 3 years ago and it seems weird the exact same thing would have failed now), so opening this just in case.
Let me know if there is anything I can do.
