Sounds cuts off after ALT-TAB'ing from Client on WINE (Linux)

Hi, devs!

I love the private server, it's wonderful! :)

I'm running into an issue where whenever I alt-tab out of the game window, the sound doesn't resume when I alt-tab back into the game. I haven't had this issue with other clients, so I'm wondering if there's a config file, or something I need to look at?

Thank you very much for your help!

Yeah, I’ve actually seen something similar where the game audio just doesn’t “wake up” after alt-tabbing, even though everything else resumes fine. In my case it turned out to be a fullscreen vs borderless window setting causing weird audio focus issues—might be worth checking that or any “exclusive audio” option in the config. Does it happen only in this one game, or across different ones for you?

You could check the client’s sound settings and make sure any “mute when inactive/minimized” option is disabled, as that’s often what causes audio not to resume after alt-tabbing.
