Error when launching from console - "Mix_OpenAudioDevice failed: dsp: no such audio device"
When I launch Steam Link from the terminal, I get the following output:

REDACTED@REDACTED:~ $ steamlink Enable to initialize audio subsystem Mix_OpenAudioDevice() failed: dsp: No such audio device Couldn't find sound data in ":/resources/sounds/click.wav" INFO: Connected to Remote Client service with session 6519539158131921699

Steam Link still successfully launches after that, but when I select "Start Playing" to connect to my PC, the screen goes black for a few seconds and then Steam Link relaunches. I'm assuming this is related to the startup error message.

I've used raspi-config and made sure the audio interface is set to the HDMI port, not the headphone jack. Some solutions I found online seemed to suggest SDL2 was the issue, so I've tried updating libsdl2. So far nothing has fixed the issue.

I'm running Raspberry Pi OS Lite (Bullseye) on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
