Made another post about this here. Still having sound problems with Hotline Miami. I removed some packages that I’d had installed to do some home recording and tried what other commenters suggested.

There will (usually) be no sound when I boot up the game unless a Dualsense is plugged in. In this case the sound will be routed to it and either come out of its speaker or headphones if I plug them in.

I said “usually” because the sound has worked twice before, once on its own and another when it came through the Dualsense and somehow was able to be switched to the speakers. This hasn’t been able to be repeated since the first time.

In the other post I mention some lib files that were added, that was due to the game not opening at all and adding those solved that problem.
