I have no sound in steam or any games started with it. There is a
Failed to connect to the context. Error: Connection refused
error in my steam output but I can't find out what exactly is wrong.

Here is my system config. On top of that I'm using the libc++ workaround.

edit: Linked the right steam log.

Have you removed my other patch which added libstdc++ to LD_PRELOAD? Steam shouldn't have LD_PRELOAD errors in logs my itself, even with updated libstdc++.

Whoopsies, I attached the wrong log. Sorry for that. Fixed

After some research with @abbradar we found out, that exporting PULSE_SERVER="unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native" fixes my issue. This is strange because xprop --root already had a PULSE_SERVER variable set with this value (and the cookie but adding this to the environment variable doesn't change anything).

We will investigate the matter further, but are grateful for any input on how pulseaudio finds its sockets.

fhs-userenv: don't use bash login mode
f183178 
Login mode can cause hidden problems, e.g. #12406. Generally we don't want
to read user's .bash_profile when we don't start an interactive shell inside
a chroot.
