Nier: Automata plays no audio. Other applications play (including other Proton apps) and NieRAutomata.exe : audio stream #8 appears in pavucontrol set to the right output and is not muted but does not show any sound being played.

Reproduction

Clean Steam install (apt purge steam && apt install steam && rm -rf ~/.steam && steam) on Kubuntu 18.04.1, with padoka PPA.

Research direction

Start by reading steam-524220.log and reproducing the report with Proton 3.7-6, checking the NieRAutomata.exe stream in pavucontrol. No source file or test is named; done means Nier: Automata produces audible sound while other applications remain unaffected.
