[solved]dota2 no sound after update

the last time i played dota was last month. then  recently i craved for a game, but there were no sound at all. i have checked in game audio settings, and desktop audio works flawlessly.
highly probably it's caused by system update, but there were tons of library updates since last month, it's really tedious to check one by one.
so, anyone having a clue or two?

fyi, i'm using x64 arch system with kde plasma
