Game seems to use D3D9Ex (though not FlipEx) based on my testing today. Since Source 2009 update (in 2010), DX7 level will also get reset to DX8 level once you have changed the video settings or by launch the game again without that -dxlevel 70 command line.įurthermore, these will not change the actual renderer to Direct3D 8 and older, the game will always runs on Direct3D 9 regardless which DX level is running on. Previously tested years ago, DX feature level 6.0 are likely non-functional since Source 2006 engine update and looks the same as DX7 level.

Your game will now function as intended, enjoy being able to hear the soundtracks, music, sound effects, etc! Especially ‘Still Alive’, and the banger that Half-Life 2’s soundtrack is, amongst others. You need to open your Terminal emulator, either from the usual application menu place, or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T, or sometimes it’s Super+T AND THEN type the following into it, entering your password when it prompts you. To work around this, please refer to the following steps, and all the games’ audio will then work perfectly.

None of this causes any crashing, but can lead to a worse gaming experience, confusion, and the appearance of buggyness- and generally isn’t great. Unfortunately, on Fedora, some Valve games have a bit of an issue regarding completely skipping playing certain audio files.

Seems like this method no longer works on Steam Deck branch. Tested on DualShock 4 V2 and DualSense Controller while Steam Input is forcefully disabled.Īs of this writing: Left/Right Joystick does not work if Steam Input (under Legacy mode) is enabled.
