No audio on Linux (Open Mandriva Lx 4.1)
I had not played the game for two months. A couple of things changed since the last time I played. First, the game was updated by you devs. Second, I changed my operating system from Ubuntu 18.04 to Open Mandriva Lx 4.1. I kept games and associated Steam data on a separate partition, so the operating system change did not erase them.

So far the transition to OM has been fine. I've played several games without any issue, but when I started up Pine, there was no audio at all. Everything else about the game worked. Pine was installed as a SteamOS/Linux game, and it worked just fine on Ubuntu 18.04 (and before the game update). I decided to delete the Linux version and install the Windows version. I'm using the current default Proton provided by Valve, and I have audio. I put my old saves into the new installation location. The game works, and I can continue from the point where I left off two months ago.

I'm posting this just in case it is a more widespread problem. I don't need a solution, and I would guess that support for a small distro such as Open Mandriva would not be practical. However, if someone else has audio issues on Ubuntu (or SteamOS, etc.), then perhaps there is a bug that the developers need to address.
