I confirm:
- that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
- that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
Symptoms
There is no audio, unless you manually switch to OpenAL in the game's settings. After that it's fine.
Don't think it needs a Proton Log file this time, as it's just an XAudio issue as by default it selects "XAudio2 2.9".
Reproduction
Just try the game and hear nothing until you swap the settings.

Research direction
Start by reproducing Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem on Proton Experimental with the default XAudio2 2.9 setting, then compare it with OpenAL, where audio works. Done means the game's default audio path produces sound without requiring a manual settings change; the report mentions no source file or test to begin with.
