Installed and played through Shadow Warrior 2013 multiple times few months ago, no problems at all - I decided try it again now, intro and videos excluded there's no sound, at all. I wonder if it has something to do with PulseAudio and or ALSA?


Linux computer 4.2.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 27 08:13:28 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
pulseaudio 7.1
alsa-lib 1.0.29-1

I have kind-of, but not the same issue.

I have an Asus Xonar DGX sound card, and i have no sound at all. Going into the sound menu, it says " no sound card detected".

same here! ...but first time player...

steam os 64bit...
32bit libasound2 libraries installed... (brütal legend e.g. works fine now)

anyone an idea?

My problem is solved, nothing wrong with the game or the system - apparently I had muted the sound from PulseAudio's volume control for Shadow Warrior and never forgot to unmute.

Maybe something similar in Iffes's case?

Anyway, check out Arch Linux-wiki, even though your distros are not Arch Linux, it's quite thorough on all things related to Linux. And it has helped me way before I ever tried Arch.

Hello. I can confirm this on ubuntu 16.04 64 bits : no sound at all except in intro video.

A simple solution is to install the libasound2-plugins:i386 package. (Yes, that is the 32 bits package on a 64 bits system, even if the 64 bits libasound2-plugins is installed already)

So :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins:i386

Sounds now works 100%.

I tried this and it still doesn't work for me for some reason. Before not even the intro video had audio but after doing this it gave the intro video audio but the actual game is still silent.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I've figured out how to get it to work somehow.

on arch installed these lib32-alsa-plugins lib32-libpulse lib32-openal

I was somehow missing one of those. I also updated my system and it worked. So if anyone else has issues try doing that in the future

Or lib32-pipewire on Manjaro with pulseaudio replaced with pipewire
Works OK now :)

Debian 12 "Bookworm" AMD64

sound started working after I loaded by package blunderbuss and installed the followiing::

libsndio7.0:i386
libopenal1:i386
libpulsedsp:i386
libpipewire-0.3-0:i386
libpipewire-0.3-modules:i386
libpipewire-0.3-modules-x11:i386
pipewire-alsa:i386
pipewire-jack:i386
pipewire-v4l2:i386

I'm not sure which of those were essential
