No audio in Into the Necrovale
Julius 3 days ago
This is a bit strange, but on my Fedora 40 KDE system I get absolutely no audio in Into the Necrovale (Steam version).

I already tried to see if there are any errors in the console when starting it, but nothing to see there.

Looking at the game folder it seems to come with its own OpenAL libraries, so I am guessing these are somehow not working on my system?

Anyone has an idea how to overwrite those or anything else I could do to fix this?

Thanks!

Quoting: JuliusAnyone has an idea how to overwrite those or anything else I could do to fix this?
Yep. You can try renaming the OpenAL lib and see if it picks up the system libraries instead.

Other workarounds include running the game with the Steam Linux Runtime or using the Proton version.

Neither renaming (fails to start then), not the different Steam runtimes made a difference sadly.

Running it in Proton works with audio, but I would really rather like to run the native version

Hmm.. I tried the demo and while I can't reproduce the bug (sound is working fine) I can run the game against my system libraries (by removing libopenal.so.1 libSDL2-2.0.so.0 from the game dir).

Maybe you don't have OpenAL installed?

Either way, I guess a bug report to game dev might be in order.
