Help me with Kingdom Hearts on the Steam Deck! (What does this mean?)

Does anyone know how to do what this post says? I have horrible audio crackling and this is the fix many people have told me about, I dont know how to do this tho, I have the heroic launcher downloaded but the next steps are very confusing to me

CommandMC•1/2/25, 8:51 PM

Hm, those steps are odd. If you only want Winetricks, just use Protontricks

CommandMC•1/2/25, 8:52 PM

(so install Protontricks, launch it and select the game, and then continue from "Select the default Wineprefix")

So, im like an imbecile when it comes to tech and computers, if i do that i would be able to add the Xaudio29?

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 8:55 PM

I dont really understand but i think thats what would fix my audio problem

CommandMC•1/2/25, 8:55 PM

Yes. From the point you have Winetricks opened (which is the "white box" the post is talking about), everything should work as described above

Bbrilliant-lime Yes. From the point you have Winetricks opened (which is the "white box" the pos...

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:17 PM

english is also not my first language, do you understand what this means?

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:18 PM

Well, as the message says, copy the command written there and run it in the terminal

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:18 PM

cuz i dont see KH in proton, im assuming cuz i have it on my SD

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:18 PM

really dumb question, whats the terminal

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:18 PM

"Konsole" in your application list

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:19 PM

In case you've ever used CMD/PowerShell on Windows, it's that but on Linux

Bbrilliant-lime In case you've ever used CMD/PowerShell on Windows, it's that but on Linux

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:24 PM

okay, so i now im in the winetricks thingy in the KH 1.5 game

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:24 PM

how do i do the next steps? for the xaudio29 thing

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:24 PM

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:24 PM

this is what i see

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:25 PM

"Select the default wineprefix" -> "Install a Windows DLL or component" -> Scroll down and tick "xaudio29" and select "OK" -> Wait

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:27 PM

What if I don’t see xaudio29

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 9:29 PM

2 questions: 1. is this for KH on Epic (and Heroic)? and 2. are you using Winetricks or Protontricks?

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:30 PM

I am now using proton tricks for this

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:30 PM

This is KH 1.5 for steam

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:30 PM

On my steam deck

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 9:32 PM

I don't understand why Heroic comes in to play at all then

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:32 PM

It doesn't, it's just what the guide above used

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:33 PM

You don't need it to do this actually

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 9:33 PM

I guess maybe because the Winetricks in Heroic might be newer than the one rewrapped by the Protontricks flatpak?

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:33 PM

The OP just found that this was a way to add xaudio29 to the game file on steam deck

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 9:33 PM

because the xaudio29 verb is newer

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:33 PM

Which is why I need

Nnursing-lime because the xaudio29 verb is newer

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:34 PM

Does protontrick not have audio29

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:34 PM

Cuz I don’t see it listed

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 9:34 PM

I don't know. I'm just trying to come up with reasons why this convoluted solution is the way it is

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:34 PM

This is all I see under X

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:34 PM

You can probably convince it to use a newer Winetricks. Looking into that right now

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:35 PM

To be clear, Protontricks is just the thing at the start that gives you a game selection. After you select a game, it runs Winetricks on that game's prefix (and with that game's compatibility tool set in Steam)

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:35 PM

Now Protontricks probably comes with its own Winetricks version, and that might be outdated

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 9:36 PM

the readme indicates

If you'd like to use a local version of Winetricks, you can set $WINETRICKS$WINETRICKS to the location of your local winetricks installation.

and winetricks itself is a script: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 9:37 PM

so maybe that could work

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 9:39 PM

it almost always is outdated

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:39 PM

Got it
Paste these commands one after the other into the terminal:

flatpak run --command=bash com.github.Matoking.protontricks

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks

chmod +x winetricks

WINETRICKS=$PWD/winetricks protontricks

flatpak run --command=bash com.github.Matoking.protontricks

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks

chmod +x winetricks

WINETRICKS=$PWD/winetricks protontricks

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:40 PM

Winetricks will yell at you a bit, but it seems to work (at least xaudio29 is listed, didn't test further)

Bbrilliant-lime Got it Paste these commands one after the other into the terminal: ``` flatpak r...

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:40 PM

not sure where the first command ends and the other starts

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:40 PM

sorry, i dont wanna mess it up

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:41 PM

oh, its.. 4 commands?

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:41 PM

I've added extra line breaks between the commands
Here's a screenshot of the full-size message if that helps:

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:46 PM

do i type a command, hit enter to apply and then type the next one?

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:47 PM

Yes

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 9:47 PM

you can copy and paste for convenience as well

CommandMC•1/2/25, 9:47 PM

Your terminal prompt should change after the first command (should have a

icon at the start)

Nnursing-lime you can copy and paste for convenience as well

verbal-limeOP•1/2/25, 9:48 PM

not sure how to do that from my steam deck

flatpak run --command=bash com.github.Matoking.protontricks wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks chmod +x winetricks WINETRICKS=$PWD/winetricks protontricks
