--- Comment #2 from Hans J <hans at betafreak.com> ---
This is a default modus operandi in Unreal Engine 4 games that use voice chat.
The free-to-play game Unfortunate Spacemen on Steam is one such example
(https://store.steampowered.com/app/408900/Unfortunate_Spacemen/), with the
added factor that proximity-based chat is integral to how the game works. This
issue manifests in the game as no one being able to hear me speak even when I
hold the push-to-talk button and mic audio works in other games.

In order to test that this is a problem with vanilla Wine (and not just Steam
Proton), I installed Steam for Windows into Wine and ran the game through it as
well, and got the same issue.

I suspect that the issue would also be replicated in Epic's Fortnite and Riot's
Valorant, though both of those games have anti-cheat components that make
running in Linux impossible as of now.
