Must manually set sound to ALSA for every Steam game

Hello, I have been having an issue since installing Bazzite, where for every new game I play through Steam, I have to manually go into Protontricks and set sound=alsa to get audio to work. While I do have a solution to this issue (set the flag in protontweaks), this is quite annoying and does not seem like it is how things are supposed to work. I have tried several different proton versions, along with setting sound to coreaudio, oss, and pulse; the only option that gives audio is sound=alsa. If anyone has any idea why this is happening and has a more permanent solution, I would really appreciate it!!
