No audio on steam deck when streaming a game from my pc
As the title says, my steam deck doesn't play any streamed game audio since today when i stream a game from my pc

I tried reinstalling the steam streaming speakers audio drivers, restart my pc and my steam deck, but nothing changed.

Anyone else have (or had) this issue ? It's driving me crazy

1. Before streaming, check your client settings. There's one to keep the audio on the host or stream it as well.
2. After starting streaming, check the default audio output device on the host.

Already did the first solution, it has been working flawlessly since i got my deck last month

And i noticed on the second solution that according to windows; the audio is indeed playing, but there is literally nothing playing on my deck

EDIT : noticed that the audio is playing on my phone with steam link, but not on my steam deck streaming mode

Please do exactly what I asked you to do in item #2. From the looks of it, the problem I'm aiming at is exactly the one you're having.

Same for me with the latest beta update of steamdeck and family beta of the host pc. I also tried rog ally and still no sound. Now I choose moonlight & sunshine which works pretty good on steamdeck.

Your solution to turn off beta update fixed this for me. In my case the client is an Archlinux desktop but still same issue as described on deck. Let's hope this gets fixed before put into a stable release and we all lose sound....
