Civilization VI no sound on macOS

Civilization VII is still a few days away from release, so I downloaded Civilization VI on macOS. The game launched without apparent issues, but from the moment the main menu appeared, there was absolutely no sound. Without familiar “From the first stirrings of life beneath water…”, it feels so wired. Everything else worked normally once the game started, except for the complete absence of audio.

Many other players ran into same problem, and one guy mentioned made a new partition with journaled only (i.e. case-insensitive). It turns out I had also installed the game on a case-sensitive APFS volume on an external hard drive, so I decided to try moving it to a different partition.

With Disk Utility, I created a new case-insensitive APFS volume and used the rsync command to copy the entire SteamLibrary folder to the new volume. When relaunching the game, all the sound came back.

If you encounter the same problem, I hope this sharing will help you.
