You may use the Deck popup keyboard (Steam + X) to enter commands. this opens a Linux console terminal.Īdjust the window so that it fills the top half of the screen, this will let it cooperate well with the popup keyboard. Then, open the start menu and go to System > Konsole. This should have no adverse effects, other than it will be undone the next time your Deck gets a system update (as Deck system updates replace the entire Linux system partition). Install MIDI/Soundfont rendering engine (Fluidsynth)įirst, be aware that we are installing a software package to Steam Deck’s Linux system. But for now, you can do these steps to get music Now. I will investigate a Flatpak-based MIDI service, which will allow the MIDI service to persist between Steam Deck updates. If that happens you can just do these steps again. That means that a Steam Deck system update may remove the MIDI service we are installing. I will tell you exactly what you have to do, so don’t worry if you are not familar with Linux. But for now installing a MIDI service requires disabling Steam Deck’s read-only state, and running some terminal commands. So, all we have to do is install one, and then tell Steam to launch it when runnning this game. The game has no music on Steam Deck, because Steam Deck’s Linux setup has no MIDI service installed. Out of the box, there is no music when playing on Steam Deck.
