One workaround for your problem might be to add a shortcut to Steam*, and run that in Game Mode.

something like “pactl set-default-sink 138” should do the trick. The device name can be found in “pactl list | grep -C RUNNING”. I hope the ID is stable, if not you’ll have to use the alsa_output.pci-blah-blah__sink name.

*easiest done by “add non steam game”, check off something, okay add it, find “the something” in your games list, and change its properties.

I appreciate that. I will give that a shot tonight. I was too frustrated with it yesterday to start digging for a workaround after I spent the earlier part of the day upgrading my NAS to OpenMediaVault 6 (from OMV5). I spend most of my week working on computer stuff, and I just want my “consolized” PC to work - especially when the OS is supposed to be stable.

  Wouldn’t you know it, Valve put out a new “stable” release for thanksgiving and it broke my docked audio. So I had to do the thing, too.

    Aaarg. That sucks. I never dealt with mine because the LE OLED model I ordered arrived. I haven’t had problems with it yet. I also upgraded to 3.5.7 BUT I’ve only played it handheld without headphones so far. Trying to get headphones to work on my OG model was what triggered the problem for me in the first place.
    
    I’m glad you knew how to work around it. I was just using desktop mode. I’m sure they’ll fix it.
