[2.1.9] Sound doesn't play if any other program is playing sound
Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2026 2:12 pm
If some other program is making sound (e.g. I'm watching a youtube video) when I start the game, then it doesn't play any audio (neither music nor sound effects). Once the other audio source stops (e.g. I pause the youtube video), then it suddenly plays all the sound effects that should have played before, which gets very loud, then starts playing audio like normal. If no other audio is playing when I boot the game, then audio works normally.
I first noticed this when I switched to the 2.1 experimental version of the game. It doesn't happen on 2.0.
My computer is running Manjaro 26.1 and KDE Plasma 6.6.5, and the `uname` output is:
```
$ uname -srvpo
Linux 7.0.10-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun, 24 May 2026 04:47:00 +0000 unknown GNU/Linux
```
