On a Ryzen 7 2700x, RX 590, but I don't think hardware is to blame here. I am also on Fedora 42, kernel 6.14.4 and Mesa 25.0.4.
No matter what I do, what I try, voices still don't work.

First I tried running the game through Proton GE using version 9-27. Given Proton GE usually fixes odd issues like this I figured it would just be a simple fix because that's what somebody else did. Nope, nothing.

Next I tried forcing in xact using multiple variations of this command.

WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx winetricks --force xact

I also tried verifying game files with steam, no dice. Every time it would say nothing is wrong. I even decided to grab an alternatively obtained version of the game... no voices.

After that I decided to get steamtinkerlaunch, install some mods including SKSE and the audio fix, ran it through both the proton hotfix and proton-ge9-27, and still... no voices. But literally everything else works, including the(relatively simple of course) mods. NPC mouths do flap around, indicating they are infact trying to talk and at some point the game was trying to play the audio before being abruptly cut off and at this point I'm at a loss.

(FIX HERE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE) Edit: following u/UrbanFlash's advice, I installed faudio into Skyrim's prefix and now npc audio works fine. You can install it with winetricks or protontricks and I'm surprised because I haven't seen faudio mentioned anywhere as a fix to this.

I'm kinda getting used to Linux Mint, so I'm aware Discord has had a lotta issues with sharing audio, but I've heard that Discord officially started supporting audio on screenshare, for Linux user. That's awesome, but it doesn't work for me. No even a little bit.

I've tried both the Flatpack and the version I got off Discord's website and neither one share audio. When you start screen share it even has a tick box that says "Share audio" so obviously it should work, right?

I have used Vesktop and it does share audio! Problem is Vesktop's screenshare seems to crash a lot or doesn't load at all. I get this weird green screen popping in some times. I dunno why and it's very inconsistent. Sometimes it's fine and other times it's not.

I understand this come across very vague, so what I'm asking is are their ways to fix this at all? I've read other people saying it works fine for them. Is there something I can do to make Discord Stable share audio on screenshare? I'm at the point where I may just need to reinstall Linux Mint, but I want to know if that's necessary or not.

Computer Specs:

OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT

CPU: 11th Gen Intel© Core™ i5-11400F @ 2.60GHz × 6

RAM: 46.9 GiB

I'm currently dual-booting Kubuntu and Windows for gaming, but I'd like to switch to Linux full-time. My main roadblock currently is audio: I’ve fine-tuned my SteelSeries headset settings (equalization, bass enhancement, etc.) on Windows through their app, but it doesn’t seem to carry over properly to Linux. Some of the settings should technically be OS-agnostic (since it's supposedly handled by the base station, not OS), but it doesn't sound right on Linux as it stands.

I’ve tried using EasyEffects, but I’m struggling to match the setup. Anyone have tips, guides, or resources for replicating or improving SteelSeries headset audio on Linux?

Hey there! I was thinking about switching my entire os from windows to linux, could someone tell me if there is a way to play lol since vanguard don't run on it

Folder with safefiles, configs, and stuff that is not synced with cloud?

I am just switching to Bazzite (or CachyOS, cannot decide yet) and I see that my Epic, GOG and EA library through Heroic/Lutris dont have my safefiles and settings saved.

I still have my back up Windows Document folder, is there any place I can put it for these games to read them?

(I only found that on Heroic cloud works, but has to be opt on on game to game basis, which would be pain, and would fix only my Epic library)

Thank you in advance.

I'm still trying to completely switch to Linux, bit I still can't get Forza Horizon 5 to work. The game starts, shows the splash screen, says my graphics card isn't supported, and if I ignore this warning, I just get a black screen.

It's the only game that's doesn't work. Games like Baldurs Gate 3 work out of the box.

My system: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Ryzen 7, NVIDIA 2060 Super (newest 570 driver), 32 GB RAM

I tried everything from ProtonDB, all Proton versions, all launch commands,... I also tried Proton 10 beta. Still the same.

Why does the game says my graphics card isn't supported? I have no integrated graphics card. In Windows the game works fine. What can I try?

Edit: what seems strange that even the intro video won't play. Could this be missing codecs or something like that?

Hey, I just read on some polish tech side that Meta is working on feature parity between desktop Whatsapp app and web version of it, main thing is that calling/video calling feature should be working, but still we don't have certain date when the update will be published but it should be here in few weeks

What do you think about it?

Does anyone know how I can download Fabric, the Fabric API, and mods and shades for Minecraft Tlauncher and Hollow Knight on Fedora 41?

I was on Windows 11, and I asked a friend to upgrade me to Fedora to free up RAM and play better.

I'd appreciate the help, please.

Hey all,

Soon I'll be getting my new PC, I'm planning on dual booting Arch and Windows 11

Obviously Signal RGB doesn't work on Linux (tried using wine to test it on my laptop, nothing)

OpenRGB was an option i saw but unfortunately doesn't support some of my parts (afaik)

I want a simple centralised solution to keep RGB consistent if Im on Windows or if Im on Linux. If i set my options in SignalRGB, will they stay after i reboot into Arch? Can i run windows through a VM to get SignalRGB to work? What is the solution?

For reference I have the following that I need to work

- NZXT Kraken AIO (the little display on it), if not kraken i might get an arctic freezer 3 or something
- NZXT RGB Case fans (the ones that come with the case im planning to get (h9 flow or h7 flow) and additional fans that I would get in the future)
- Aula F75 Keyboard
- G502 X Plus Mouse
- RGB on my RAM sticks (probably team group or g.skill but again, nothing is final as I dont have the PC yet)

tldr: I want a centralised solution to control RGB for the parts above, and I want it to remain consistent whether I'm on Arch or Windows 11

Thanks for any and all help

I've looked into Linux, I dislike windows 11, and was thinking about making the swap... but have a few questions;

CPU/GPU: Ryzen 7 + Radeon 7900XT

I've read the FAQ but just wanted to ask for some help.

use mostly for gaming.

VR? does it work? are there restrictions?

does it run older games (pre-2012)?

does it run new releases (example: oblivion remastered)?

are there any launcher restrictions (example: epic games, Ubisoft, etc)?

what is the best Linux version for gaming/beginner with Linux?

I'm sure these questions have been asked many times, but if someone could help me out id appreciate it a lot.

Hello! I'm new to Linux and I've always been interested into transitioning into Linux. I recently got a laptop, my first gaming laptop, so it's gonna be the first time i will be playing games after 2005. I have an RTX 4060 (laptop) and an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU with 24 GB RAM. I am completely new and unfamiliar with Linux so I have a dual-boot setup going at the moment. Can you guys help me with the setup and stuff like NVIDIA drivers (ik they're notorious for not having the best official support) and other stuff. I'm using Linux Mint btw.
