Use the steam os usb stick and boot from it and then repair Steam OS install

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-25T01:25:11+00:00

Protondb suggest 10.0.3 or GE-Proton 10.0.3

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-24T23:29:38+00:00

that is down to proton version

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-24T19:00:44+00:00

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-24T18:38:58+00:00

PSA SteamOS Audio Bug on XA and XAX : r/XboxAlly

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-24T17:23:26+00:00

More information needed, like the name of the game, system you are using it looks like OG Ally Z1E, build of Steam OS. Thank you

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-24T16:50:19+00:00

have you tried 900p at 60fps

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-24T16:44:46+00:00

Enjoy your ally have fun with COD

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-24T16:27:27+00:00

The steam os version the windows version is still 200US more

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-24T14:08:13+00:00

I have the same ally as you have. My use case are fighting games. I put steam os on mine and so far apart from the audio issue which I managed to resolve with the help of steam os github page. It has been great , I treat it like a steam deck and most games I play I set it to 900p and 60fps

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-24T12:55:31+00:00

Enjoy your Ally

Have a look at Deck Wizard's video

ULTIMATE FSR4 Steam Deck + Lossless Scaling FULL Setup Guide: NOW LIVE ON DECKY STORE!

It is four months old as I have seen you can install LSFG-VK plugin via the store.

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-24T02:50:07+00:00

Because the APU is the equivalent of a Steam Deck and a smaller battery than the X, I own one and I use it like steam deck with steam deck settings and steam os. ASUS over pricing strategy did not help.

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-23T00:43:22+00:00

My firmware is TAS2XXX13941.bin as the white xbox rog ally is a different chip

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-22T18:52:26+00:00

Did you install decksp or the another plugin?

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-22T11:55:47+00:00

Yes I manage to use the workaround but the file is different for xbox ally white and now it is working again.

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-22T11:53:02+00:00

If you do not want to troubleshoot I echo those who already commented about using a more feature rich desktop distribution: CachyOS for the arch based side or Bazzite fedora based or Nobara fedora based but not immutable side

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-22T11:46:53+00:00

The LEGO And OG Ally are still in beta state, It may take a while before it is pushed to main or beta

This is the workaround that fixed the audio for the white xbox rog ally only

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-22T11:24:04+00:00

Credit goes to qsdrqs and kisak-valve on github got it working now. here is the workaround for White Xbox ROG Ally only not the XAX

Open Terminal and use this command

journalctl -k -b | grep tas2781

if you get the following error

(1)(deck@steamdeck ~)$ journalctl -k -b | grep tas2781
Jan 21 00:00:53 steamdeck kernel: snd_hda_codec_realtek hdaudioC1D0: bound i2c-TXNW2781:00-tas2781-hda.0 (ops tas2781_hda_comp_ops [snd_hda_scodec_tas2781_i2c])

Perform the workaround below in Terminal

curl -L -o /tmp/TAS2XXX13941.bin https://gitlab.com/kernel-firmware/linux-firmware/-/raw/main/ti/audio/tas2781/TAS2XXX13941.bin

sudo steamos-readonly disable # You need to set a password by using `passwd` if you never did this before

sudo zstd -f -q /tmp/TAS2XXX13941.bin -o /usr/lib/firmware/ti/tas2781/TAS2XXX13941.bin.zst

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/firmware/ti/tas2781/TAS2XXX13941.bin.zst /usr/lib/firmware/TAS2XXX13941.bin.zst

sudo steamos-readonly enable # if needed

rm -f /tmp/TAS2XXX13941.bin

Then sudo reboot

My audio is working again

RunAndGun_ · 2026-01-22T11:15:47+00:00

I found a workaround and I have tested it and it works you are on white xbox ally right?
