Symptoms

Certain in-game audio cues don't work, which makes it unplayable at certain points of the game.
Music works though. Rest of the game is also completely fine.

Reproduction

  • Start the game
  • Main menu is completely silent.
    • Should have mechanical sound as it opens up, but it is silent.

Additional notes

Sound starts working when native directmusic verbs are installed: dmime, dmloader, dmsynth, dmusic, dsound, dswave.

Research direction

Reproduce Aura: Fate of the Ages with Proton 8.0-2 and inspect steam-65500.log, starting with the missing main-menu mechanical sound and other absent audio cues. Compare behavior with the listed native DirectMusic verbs installed; done means the affected in-game audio cues work without requiring those native verbs.
