On Steam Deck I rather use RetroArch from the Steam store. So I can play the games everywhere offline without any NAS or internet connection required (during playtime). And still benefit from save files saved to cloud and available on other machines. Just an alternative that exists for anyone with Steam.

I don't get any sound in Retroarch on the Steam Deck. Do you have this same issue?

No issue with audio. I have played a lot. Do you use RetroArch directly from the Steam store (which I do) or through something like EmuDeck or RetroDeck maybe? In that case, it is possible that the issue lies somewhere there. Just noticed RetroArch app got finally a "Verified" status. Check if you set it to mute by accident. As for my RetroArch, in the sub menu of Settings > Audio > Output:

Audio = ON
Audio = pulse
Device = Default
Output Rate (Hz) = 48000
Audio Latency (ms) = 64
Audio Resampler = sinc
Resampler Quality = Normal

I'm not saying these are the optimal settings, just my current settings that work for me. Check those settings, change and restart RetroArch to test.
