Steam Sound stutter (solution)

[Deathmaker]

I had problems with sound if i run any game via steam. Outside of steam everything is working. After a lot of research and tests i found a solution that worked for me.

The problem seems to be related to pulse audio. I'm using sourrund SPDIF output but i am not sure if this is important.

In order to use ALSA as output instead of Pulseaudio i eddited the file /etc/openal/alsoft.conf
and inserted this line
drivers=alsa,pulse,

After that ALSA is the default output and in all my steam games the sound seems to work without problems.
