Make sure to also check the troubleshooting and FAQ section of the main hook readme. This covers various things that apply to all hooks. The following sub-sections apply mainly to this hook.

The game crashes when using the sound device hw:0

The game's sound manager relies on hardware mixing using the same device which is not supported by newer versions of alsa anymore. Instead, you have to use software mixing using the dmix device, see here.
