This is the thing which keeps me from switching entirely to Linux. A friend of mine needs twice the amount of Time to start his Games (which is something I would have no Problem with) and what makes it not worth switching imo is that he loses the sound from Discord when he plays. He needs to restart DC then. And no one knows why ._.

Is he using PipeWire or PulseAudio? I solved my audio problems by installing PipeWire.

I don't know I will sent him this :D

Okay, he did both but nothing helped. But thanks :)

My bet would be wine grabbing the audio device and not using Pipe wire/PulseAudio. It happened to me once, I believe I solved it by recompiling something (PipeWire, wine or the gst plugins). I would recommend trying to run Discord and the game in terminal, it might show some error to help with troubleshooting.

I will happily forward this to him :D maybe it helps.
