Symptoms
Audio playback is borked; the game seems unable to output any sound at all. No amount of fiddling with the game settings or dll overrides seems to fix it. Proton log repeats the following line:
fixme:dsound:IDirectSoundBufferImpl_AcquireResources (0x14be4ca0,00000000,0,(nil)): stub, faking success
Reproduction
Install, and play game. Listen for audio playback.

Research direction
Start with the linked Proton log and the repeated fixme:dsound:IDirectSoundBufferImpl_AcquireResources entry, then reproduce the issue by installing and playing Dark Sector. Trace the audio failure from that entry point; done means the game produces sound under the reported Proton environment and the regression is covered by relevant validation.
