[SOLVED] Steam Game Dynamite Jack - Sound issues / STEAM_RUNTIME=0

When I run the game "Dynamite Jack" on Steam, I hear a lot of pops and hisses. I installed the 32-bit alsa libs using:

pacman -S lib32-alsa-plugins

However, I still have the issue. Someone in the steam forum mentioned that it was an issue with the "irrKlang" audio library. Has anyone else had any luck resolving audio issues like this in steam?

Edit:
It looks like this may be related to other problems I'm having with Steam. Steam needs 32-bit libs install to work correctly since it is a 32-bit application. Someone pointed me to the Arch Steam wiki page at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … ve_runtime.

I had a problem installing some of the libs but if I get that working, this issue might go away.

Edit 2:
I got the 32-bit libs installed and can now run Steam with STEAM_RUNTIME=0. However, when I run like this, Dynamite Jack does not launch! I haven't found error logs or debug messages so I'm not sure where to start looking.

Solution:
First off, to get the logs: I am running steam-session-git to log directly into steam big picture. (Makes for an awesome HTPC gaming console.) I change the execute command from this:

#Execute STEAM
$prefix $program $parameters &

To this:

#Execute STEAM
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa STEAM_RUNTIME=0 $prefix $program $parameters > ~/.local/share/Steam/debug.log &

Then I was able to see the error in the log file as:

error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0

The solution was to download the 32-bit version of libSDL-1.2.so.0. The package for the lib is on the Arch AUR at: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-sdl1.2/ and a description of the fix is at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … amite_Jack

I still get pops and hisses sometimes on the first or second time I startup the game. If exit and start again a few times, the problem usually goes away.
