Supreme Commander (GOG) sound does not work.

Hello. So I have Supreme Commander on GOG and Steam. On Linux Mint 21.2, the sound works fine on Steam, but via Heroic (GOG) it does not work. I have tried installing GameScope, tried Steam Runtime, Proton Experimental. So far no dice. Strange that only the sound will not work. I figure it has to be something really small so if anyone has any ideas, please suggest. I am still scouring the internet.

I cannot find a game log for this, It is not anywhere in the game directory, however, if you know how to setup a debug log, I am open to suggestions

Try usine Wine-GE instead of Proton. It looks like you might not have drivers for Flatpak set up properly, though? Or maybe you just need to disable Gamemode? I'm not very familiar with how Heroic works in Flatpak.

colossal-harlequin•1/12/24, 12:39 AM

I think game mod is only for anti-cheat, but I'm not 100% on that

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 12:41 AM

removed Flatpak version, install DEB version

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 12:41 AM

tried Wine-GE

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 12:41 AM

still no sound

You don't have an nvidia gpu, so I think you need to turn off use dedicated graphics

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 12:47 AM

Tried, did not help with sound

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 2:21 AM

Thats not what this option does.. dedicated graphics is if you have multiple GPUs.

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 2:21 AM

not nvidia hardware

colossal-harlequin•1/12/24, 2:22 AM

Why does it say nvidia prime in the logs?

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 2:22 AM

that being said dxvk is smart enough to figure out which gpu iirc

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 2:22 AM

thats just the option name when you click "dedicated gpu"

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 2:22 AM

its related to nvidia prime, but its not the only configuration

Sskinny-azure Tried, did not help with sound

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 2:25 AM

out of curiosity, is the game just muted or not outputting to the right audio device? (check your sound settings in the os)

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:22 AM

Game is not muted, shows outputting in Sound Settings --> Applications

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:22 AM

I tried this in WineTricks. Did not work

colossal-harlequin•1/12/24, 3:23 AM

What exactly did you install?

Ccolossal-harlequin What exactly did you install?

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:25 AM

d3dx9, d3dxp_43, d9vk, dxvk

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:26 AM

tried also using PAUVControl, Turned off profile from HDA ATI HDMI, leaving only sound card as Output Device. nothing fixed. Sound works everywhere else, except this game

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:28 AM

I would like to mention that while this is obviously not critical, I am really more surprised that this works in Steam but not Heroic. The files are basically the same, and both can use Proton, so I have to assume its some strange config issue or bug somewhere

broad-emerald•1/12/24, 3:30 AM

I wonder: is it sound throughout the game, or in a video sequence? In the latter it could be a missing GStreamer codec.

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:30 AM

Its the entire game, I tried getting into levels

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:31 AM

no sound from intro, no sound from videos, no sound from mission briefings, no sound from gameplay

broad-emerald•1/12/24, 3:33 AM

Weird.

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 3:41 AM

saw this on lutris' installer

This uses wine version lutris-5.7-11-x86_64 to overcome an issue with no sound
  in later versions of wine. Winetricks is used to install xact which prevents crashes
  when using wine versions under version 6. dxvk is also disabled, which improves
  stability (there may be frequent crashes with dxvk enabled). esync must also be
  disabled.

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 3:42 AM

seems like a regression in newer wine that breaks audio

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 3:42 AM

granted, wine 5.7 is ooooooooooooooold

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:43 AM

lol, Heroic OLDEST wine options is 7-27

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:43 AM

They don't even have an option for 6 or 5

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 3:43 AM

you can try a 7 series wine and see if its working

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 3:43 AM

also you can install your own versions and use those, heroic will see them

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 3:45 AM

maybe you can try an earlier proton version too, seems that the steam version might just work with an old enough proton version

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:45 AM

The Steam version works with new proton versions, including Proton Experimental, with sound

How well does Supreme Commander work on Linux and the Steam Deck?

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 3:46 AM

nod, hence why i suggested proton

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:46 AM

I will try earlier versions of Proton and Wine in the 7 series first

dry-scarlet•1/12/24, 3:46 AM

i only have this game on cd and i have no idea where it is ahah otherwise i'd try

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:47 AM

Thanks, I am more committed to fixing this at this point as an emotional investment

skinny-azureOP•1/12/24, 3:59 AM

Earlier versions of Wine and Proton did not fix it, going back to the 7 series. Still seeing if there is a way to download and try 5.7
