Fix Sound on Linux

A few weeks ago I booted up my Win10 laptop and ran Steam. I started playing Civilization 5 then all of a sudden my Linux machine started streaming Civilization 5. How cool! I could control the game from my Linux machine even though Civ5 was ran on the Windows machine.

Within 10 minutes the stream crashed and I lost sound. My self problem solving issue hasnt been successful.

I checked in the BIOS and my sound card is enabled.

I read somewhere the problem happens because steams library for linux uses 32bit, not sure though.

I am on CentOS7

Please help.

It looks like the problem is with pulse audio being off.

[pulseaudio -k

Make sure you have TeamViewer so I can give you access to my machine. I want to get this solved asap!
