No audio for Sims 3 or Sims Medieval

Hello,
I am rather new to Archlinux but have been doing well troubleshooting and getting apps working thus far. This last issue though has me stumped so I'm hoping I can find some assistance here.

I have all of my games installed on an external hard drive so I can bounce back and forth between a gaming laptop using Windows 10 and my desktop that I am learning Linux on. Steam games all play and have sound, 0 issues. For the Sims 3 and Sims Medieval, I have the EA App installed via Lutris and then have directed the EA App to the game installs on my external drive. The Sims 4 is set up the same way and the games runs and has sound with 0 issues. For some reason though the other two games have no sound.

I use the Plasma KDE desktop environment and I've noticed when looking at the Audio Volume controls that all my games when running show up under the 'Applications' tab except for the Sims 3 and Sims Medieval. I've ensured alsa is up-to-date as well as wine, wine-mono, wine-gecko, and winetricks. I tried adding the .exe files for the games in the winecfg just to see if that would help but it didn't.

Because I am new, I am not sure what info you all might need to assist. Thank you in advance.

Go figure, as soon as I make a post I figure it out. Needed the 32bit libraries for these games, so installing the packages below fixed the issue.

lib32-alsa-plugins lib32-pipewire lib32-libpulse lib32-gst-plugins-base lib32-gst-plugins-good lib32-alsa-lib
