Pop!\_OS 19.10  
Proton 5.0-7

Everything works great… except for audio. I get no ship/weapon sounds, all other audio works fine (UI, music/docking etc.)

EDIT: I see the audio not working is actually a broader issue that is affecting Mac as well

Pop!\_OS 20.04  
Proton 5.9-GE-2-MF [GloriousEggroll](https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom)

After replacing my Nvidia with a Radeon card, everything works perfectly. (Using Nvidia I needed to close the launcher, if not, the game would freeze after approximately 1h. ) This is no longer an issue when using the Radeon card. Total platinum experience.

**Replaced:** Gainward GeForce RTX 2060 Ghost OC  
**With:** Sapphire Radeon RX 5500 XT NITRO+ 8GB
