Hi Elimar, I've updated libasound2-plugins and alsa-utils and still hit the same issue, this time launching a Steam game (WarThunder). Since I updated libasound2 to 1.1.7-1, no sound on the game with the same error message: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1099:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave Packages installed on my system: dpkg -l | grep libasound2 | awk {'print $2,$3'} libasound2:amd64 1.1.7-1 libasound2:i386 1.1.7-1 libasound2-data 1.1.7-1 libasound2-dev:amd64 1.1.7-1 libasound2-plugins:amd64 1.1.7-2 libasound2-plugins:i386 1.1.7-2 dpkg -l | grep alsa | awk {'print $2,$3'} alsa-base 1.0.27+1 alsa-utils 1.1.7-1 gstreamer0.10-alsa:amd64 0.10.36-2 gstreamer1.0-alsa:amd64 1.14.4-1 libsox-fmt-alsa:amd64 14.4.2-3 If you need further information, please feel free to ask.
