This isn't steam issue, you need to have either a X11 server running (or Wayland with xwayland support), your user need to be running it, and of course you need to have xdg setup correctly which should already be the case with the pam_xdg module
 
does the user with uid 1001 is named steam ?
If not, you need to give the steam user access to your xorg session which is done with xhost +localuser:si:steam

i do not know why , just did not run it without root first (i know not very good idea to anything as root before trying non-root first) but i do not know why running this command as root is bad
Click to expand...
you are supposed to run it from the user that is running the Xorg session, which is your regular user normally.

yes freebsd , also wine does not work with audio for some reason

Which wine ? There should be support for pulseaudio, oss, and alsa with wine-devel-allaudio.
And for wine-proton, there is wine-proton-pulse flavors that should have all of them in theory.

At this point I am wondering what audio setup do you have ? What application does work with audio ?
Which version of FreeBSD you are on ?.
 
what audio setup do you have ?
I am using kde so i do not know much details
What application does work with audio ?
everything beside wine (which is fixed) and steam
Which version of FreeBSD you are on ? 15.1
