Hey,

I just downloaded the game and got no sound. I'm using Arch Linux with KDE.

Anyone know what I could do to get sound working with current Arch and PST in its current form? (I say this because some folders and files mentioned in the solutions from other threads do not exist anymore and i can't seem to find the equivalent)

Thanks for help in advance!

Alright, good to know.

The link you posted is the thread I was referring to in the OP. All linux-sound-related threads on this board are outdated with the new wine structure in the PS:T Linux version, so that doesn't help me unfortunately. :/

How about this?

Sorry not much of a linux user.
Linux isn't much of a friend with games.

Same thing, checked those already.

Thanks for mentioning them though! :)

Hey, thanks for the response, all good. :)

For everybody in the same situation I was in and searching for a solution, I'll say what worked for me real quick:

Install the packages:

lib32-alsa-lib
lib32-alsa-plugins
lib32-libpulse

The third one was the culprit for it being quite the hassle for me, since it's not usually mentioned anywhere if you search for similar problems on the net. In most cases for audio in old applications the first two seem to suffice. I encountered the third completely randomly in search for the solution for another problem, heh.

Cheers
