Description of Problem:
For some reason I can't understand when using pipewire as my audio server Red Dead Online stops working. The game can't connect to rockstar servers. Go back to pulseaudio and it works, install pipewire and it fails.
This isn't a regression caused by a recent release, I've noticed it for several months now.
How Reproducible:
100% Using pipewire the game will not connect. Using pulse it will.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Have pipewire as the audio server
- Try to play Red Dead Online
Actual Results:
The game throws an error about server issues.
Expected Results:
The game works.
