Why does my sound keep playing after I close the game? - Person Playing White and Blue Audio Mixer

I'm on a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS computer and I have installed Civilization 5 from Steam. Whenever I click the "close game" option from inside the game's menu, all the graphics and any icons on the task bar disappear, but I am left with the background sound from my game (birds chirping, water rushing, etc.), though no music ever plays.

I have tried closing the lid of my laptop, and this only gets rid of it if the computer goes on sleep (which takes about 10 minutes), and I don't want to have to do that every time I stop playing. Shutting down also works, but again, I don't want to do this, as I still want to use my computer afterwards.

Any idea how to fix it?



Best Answer

Not familiar with ubuntu, but I'm sure there's a way to end the process like in task manager on Windows. But this reminds me of a bug in fallout 3 on Windows 7 were the game crashes but cannot be ended even by ending the process, you have to turn if the pc. This was due to the game not bring optimised for that operating system, maybe that is the issue in your case, and if that's true there's not much you can do about it
