How to Install Audio Drivers on Steam Deck
Installing audio drivers on your Steam Deck is straightforward. First, make sure you’re in Desktop Mode. Then, open up Discover (the app store for Linux) and search for any available audio drivers that match your needs. If you can't find your specific driver through Discover, you might need to visit the manufacturer's website and download it directly from there. Remember, Linux might require a bit more digging to find the right drivers, but most mainstream audio hardware supports it.

Just make sure you're in Desktop Mode on your Steam Deck and use the Discover app to find and install your audio drivers. It's pretty much a breeze from there. If you hit a snag, a quick Google search for your specific audio hardware + Linux should do the trick.
Honestly, never had to manually install audio drivers on my Steam Deck. They worked out of the box. Maybe check if your system’s up-to-date before diving into driver installation? Could save you some hassle.
