I have no sound
Alright so I have sound in other games. I was reading in another post that I could stop using pulse audio and install oss3 instead but I am not sure what that really entails? Would removing pulse audio stop the audio in my other games?

Don't remove pulseaudio unless you read up on what it does and why you'd want to remove it.
Try using pavucontrol to see which device is your default sink and which one Vendetta is using. Pulse tries to be too smart for its own good and fails a lot.

I was able to solve this issue by installing pulse audio volume control.
