How to setup OpenMW for modern Morrowind on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck
How to install Hollow Knight: Silksong mods on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck
my first post, and somewhat a cry for help.
i bought shadwen as one of the very few one-day-boughts. And on my Machine, running Steamos it works well, but i play on my office pc mainly and there is Linux Mint 17.3 installed, and on this machine Shadwen has an awfull sound, which makes it unplayable.
The sound is very noisy and crackling. Like every Second there is a cracking sound.
First i thought, its just the music, but in cutszenes i hear it too, and in the ambient sound it is a bit less loud but also.
Also the game just runs on my both front boxes...
i tried it with ALSA and with pulseaudio started... nothing changed.
I use a Realtec AlC892 (thats what gnome-alsamixer shows me)
I wrote FrozenByte, but they now answered me, they arent able to fix this, "Shadwen is mainly made to support SteamOS environments, which is probably the issue here."
so, any ideas here?
thanks in advance
i tried a bit arround with these. than i started pulseaudio (i normaly dont have it running) and somehow it worked.
but after the weekend it didnt anymore. . i will try arround a bit more.
