No sound in games

[Gopnik_Horror]

Hi all!

I'm pretty new to emulation and I've been taking a stab at it with my steam deck. I have been having great success with pcsx2, but one day all my games started to have no audio. I have tried messing with the audio settings and changing things around but no luck. I did notice that when I clicked on an individual game and went to its properties to adjust audio, all the sliders were stuck at zero. I cannot move them up or down at all. 

Does anyone know what's going on or how to fix this?

Where can I find the appimage? I checked the pcsx2 website but it wasn’t there.

In terms of the appimage, it should be on the official website, under the Downloads section.

I was able to fix this by:
1 connecting an external keyboard
2 booting to desktop
3 running a game with pcsx2
4 click the windows button on the keyboard
5 find the pcsx2 icon on the task bar 
6 click the sound icon on the top right of the icon and make sure it’s not muted
