Hello!
I have no sound in Dota 2 since the October 5th 2016 update of the Dota client.
I use ALSA on my system.
pacman -Q | grep alsa
alsa-lib 1.1.2-1
alsa-plugins 1.1.1-1
alsa-utils 1.1.2-1
lib32-alsa-lib 1.1.2-1
lib32-alsa-plugins 1.1.1-1
python-pyalsaaudio 0.8.2-1
zita-alsa-pcmi 0.2.0-3This is the culprit:
AL lib: pulseaudio.c:612: Context did not connect: Access denied This is what i have tried:
1. Deleting/renaming alsa-lib folder and libasound.so.* in the steam-runtime folders:
~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
2. Starting steam with
LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib32/libasound.so.2:/usr/lib/libasound.so.2" steam 3. Installed PulseAudio and the recomended packages for 32 bit and ALSA according to the pulseaudio wiki.
4. Installed lib32-openal
5. Tried this
6. Tried the same as number 5 but used a ".openalrc" in my ~/ instead
7. Tried number 4 - 6 with and without PulseAudio
Number 1 - 3 and all the options with PulseAudio installed removes the culprint message, but there is still no sound in Dota 2, and no sound related error messages from the Steam console output. Everything else sound related on my system works, including Steam and its games (apart from Dota 2).
Has anyone else experiance this problem since October 5th 2016?
If you have any suggestion I gladly take pointers in the right direction! Let me know if you need anymore information!
Regards
Martin

Did you try downgrading whatever packages got updated on oct 6th?

Hello!
I cant because it is a forced update from Valve for the Dota client. When Valve released the The Fall 2016 Battle pass the sound stopped working.

Sorry I may have misread your first post, and thought you were talking about packege updates via pacman. Sorry about the noise.

well you're not the only one, it happened to me few days ago.
but somehow i got it working again by installing pulse audio.
could you print the output console here when initially starting dota, maybe someone will get a hint by observing the output

hello!
I found a working workarround!
I did not tried all of the suggested solutions found here, but I can confirm that the following one worked for me:
Rename the file libSDL2-2.0.so.0 found in the below folder structure:
steamapps/common/'dota 2 beta'/game/bin/linuxsteamrt64Hopefully Valve will fix this soon!
Update: The above workarround is no longer needed since the problem has been fixed, see the last post about this bug here.

Martin
