[Jon Severinsson]

Game Version 1.0.2

What OS are you playing on?
Linux

What platform are you using?
Steam

Do you have mods enabled? No

Have you tried verifying your game files (Steam only)?

How much "pain" is this causing you?
9

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
There is no sound, no music, no sound effects, not anything.

The game does show up as a pulseaudio sink input with the following properties, but the stream is silent:
media.name = "Mixer Stream"
application.name = "FMOD Audio"
native-protocol.peer = "UNIX socket client"
native-protocol.version = "32"
application.process.id = "14813"
application.process.binary = "ck3"
application.language = "C"
window.x11.display = ":0"
application.process.session_id = "3"

Edit: After restarting Steam for the forth or fifth time it suddenly started working, and now I can't reproduce the issue at all any longer. No clue what made it start working...
