This started ~2 weeks ago in steam beta so i switched to stable, but it arrived there now.

Funny, I was wondering for a few days now why steam crashes on startup. Thanks to this Issue I found out that my OpenRGB setup which is listening to my Audio Monitor for cool RGB effects is causing Steam to crash. 👍🏼

bananarne · 2022-11-20T20:19:49Z

Uhm, yeah, I worked around that by using the flatpak version (which doesn't work if you have steam play activated, for some reason(there is an issue describing this)). So this must've something to do with how I compile stuff.

Ohyeah, and I tried to not have an pulseaudio-daemon running, which didn't change a thing.

FF-AntiK · 2022-11-20T20:54:22Z

I'm pretty much getting away with starting Steam before OpenRGB is started ;-)
Didn't test any voicechat yet, though.

I just had the same issue starting yesterday, today I opted out of steam beta and now everything is working... Hopefully this doesn't come to stable.

Steam beta crashes along with the game when requesting sound input

Issue transferred from #9004.
@GregTheMadMonk posted on 2022-12-16T06:22:33:

Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): Dec 15 2022 02:03:59
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux
Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The issue first appeared after an update when I tried to launch Nightmare Reaper.
The game crashed on launch, and Steam crashed with it.
At first, I thought it was a game-specific problem, as other games worked, but when I tried to use voice chat in Half-Life it happened again.
Inspecting the core dump reveals that alcCaptureOpenDevice() fails and crashes both the game and steam.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Launch the latest Steam Beta
Try to run a game that uses a microphone (for me these were Nightmare Reaper and Half-Life)
Both game and steam would crash when trying to access the microphone

most likely clone of #8930 but the backtrace says more than mine

@GregTheMadMonk please provide a crash ID for an uploaded crash for your issue. Several users have confirmed that this issue is fixed in current Steam beta for them, there may be something different about your setup.

GregTheMadMonk · 2022-12-16T22:54:01Z

@TTimo I'm unsure what a crash ID is, so here are the last lines of Steam output after the crash.
(I removed a bunch of gamemode output from here as the problem persists even if I launch the game without it).

i provoked a crash for a fresh new crashid CrashID=bp-16b70289-4ad5-475e-98c8-3fa1e2221216

i created this with steam beta.

TTimo · 2022-12-16T23:20:25Z

Thanks @bananarne - since libopenal.so.1 is coming from your host, you may want to install a debug version of that and see if you can get a more precise backtrace of why it crashes while executing alcCaptureOpenDevice.

If it's like the other issues, stepping through the disassembly might help, I expect it's being confused by some of the symbols globally exported by the Steam binary.

bananarne · 2022-12-17T13:00:56Z

unfortunately it doesn't get much clearer by doing that, at first I thought it would be pipewire specific, but when compiling openal without that feature im presented with this:

I will try to convince gdb to load sourcecode from the correct place and then step through it line by line, later.

I believe I'm experiencing the same issue, possibly related to #9011. Steam crashes for me every time I try to access the settings or voice chat in Dota 2. Seems like the problem is caused by an uncaught exception thrown in the PulseAudio backend in OpenAL:

I've seen this issue with ELDEN RING. Any multiplayer activity triggers it.

#13 0xeb6e63fb in ?? () from /home/archer/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steamclient.so

Im not using pulseaudio (pipewire) so I hacked this by renaming the default device to "PulseAudio Default". as this value is hardcoded in steamclient.so.

$ strings ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steamclient.so | grep PulseAudio                                                                                      
PulseAudio Default
PulseAudio connect failed (used only for Mic Volume Control) with error: %s

Hope this can help someone while waiting for a fix in steamclient.so

@ouassarnifahd Thanks, the hack worked like a charm for me! Simply renaming my headset and mic to PulseAudio Default in pavucontrol mitigates the issue.

This is constistent to my debugging attemps, it seems to not find a device with the name provided by the call of

0xe0c7ccd9 in alcCaptureOpenDevice(ALCchar const*, ALCuint, ALCenum, ALCsizei)
(deviceName=0xdbbfd6f4 "PulseAudio Default", frequency=24000, format=4353, samples=480000)

I compiled openal without pipewire support and this still happens, in fact it even happens without pipewire being started. So it doesn't seem to have anything to do with pipewire.

Your host OpenAL really shouldn't be trying to propagate C++ exceptions from it's pipewire backend implementation (al::backend_exception) up towards steam. alc.h is a C API ..

It turns out this is caused by a bug in Steam - next beta update will have a fix (this fix didn't make it in today's 1672959571 beta unfortunately)

Either cant be launched when Telegram is usted for calls

Fix went in to Jan 12th beta client, please re-test.

bananarne · 2023-01-13T16:55:36Z

nope, still experiencing this (with beta). The backtrack looks pretty much identical.

Might be fixed for people who were seeing vgui2_s.so insert itself in the C++ exception handling. What is happening on @bananarne's system may be a different flavor of problem.

bananarne · 2023-02-08T15:22:05Z

This has been fixed for me.
