Steam Remote Play - No Sound

I noticed that the beta client on both PC and Steam Deck have missing audio when using remote play on another device. The issue seems to be client side as the sound returns when I switch to the Stable build on the Deck but the PC I'm streaming from still has the Steam Families Beta build.

I had the same issue on a laptop so it doesn't seem specific to the Steam Deck.

Same issue for me. Reported in the update announcement as well: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/groups/SteamClientBeta/eventcomments/4416425392682028333?snr=2_groupannouncements_DefaultAction_&ctp=3#c4553785323977648081

Crosspost from the remote play discussion thread: seems like this bug is on the client side. The host can be in either the families beta or the public beta and the client will recieve audio as long as it's on stable. This also means that Android and Steam Link devices will recieve audio.

Have the same problem with the current beta and remote play, no audio when I stream from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 22.04. Both clients were on the beta branch, with the stable clients it works again.

Dear support.
I also report a regression in Steam Beta (linux Ubuntu) when using the Remote Play feature.
When swithing back to regular Steam (linux version), sound is playing properly on the guest computer.
The regression on Steam Beta (linux) appeared somewhere between the night of 12 to 13 July (UTC time). It was perfectly working on Steam Beta the night of 11 July and before.

Host computer: Win 7 pro 64 bits (i5 3570K 16Go RAM RTX 1060, stock frequencies), Steam is set Offline.
The game played the sound properly on the Host Win7 computer.
Guest computer: Linux Ubuntu Studio 22.04.03 LTS 64 bit (Ryzen 3700X 64Go RAM RTX 3060, stock frequencies) running OBS 30.1, Steam is set Online. No sound on the remote play session. Steam linux is auto updated.
Both computers are connected through the same gigabit router (and 100/1000 LAN card). No firewall, no DMZ, no blacklist or MAC white list between these computers.

Tested on 3 games the night of 12/13 July with no sound during a Remote Play session. All was totally OK when no beta version on Steam Linux was used:
- Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic
- Spelunky
- Have a Nice Death

I did not see any weird message in the terminal while using the Steam Beta version. Nonetheless I can try to reproduce the bug if requested and give access to the verbose.

Having same issue when streaming from win11 to Steamdeck. No Audio no matter what I tried. Reverting back to stable on win11 and Steamdeck fixed the issue.
