Hi, I recently jumped ship and switched to Linux. I tired to Run Silent Hunter 4 U-boat missions through Steam with Lutris. It works for the most part, but the funny thing is I don't have any sound effects. Music plays fine, voices work, but other then that I can't hear anything.

I'm running Linux Mint 19. Intel i5, 12gb ram Nvidia GtX970.

I tried switching out the Kernel to the latest version, but that had no effect.

I read online I should try switching the Audio drivers with Winetricks, I tried that but it seemed to have no effect... (although I'm unsure I did it right)

I can play cold waters just fine, so I'm somewhat inclined to just put SH4 on the list of games I won't be able to play ever again, unless somebody has any ideas.

Too bad Ubisoft never made SH4 open source... ah well.
