It is my best hope that all are well, I recently installed unity latest lts version on my ubuntu 20.04 machine and everything seems to be working well except the audio of the whole engine, the audio file is playing on the editor but no sound can be heard, i’ve tried everything on previous same issues found on the forum and online in general but it seems a straight answer cannot be found, this might be a bug in the engine in respect to linux builds
If any of you great people knows a workaround on this issue, i’ll be grateful for your assistance
I installed pavucontrol to see where unity was sending the audio. I’m not sure why the unity sink input is sending its output to HDMI (see picture). that makes no sense. I have nothing plugged in. Should be sending it to the default sink. When I map it manually using the dropdown to sof-soundwire speaker , i get sound back. I haven’t adjusted my alsa or pulseaudio config from default ubuntu.
This fix doesn’t stick… if you stop playing audio in the editor eventually you will need to reset it.
Also - i sometimes seem to lose system sounds when I do this… so its not really a great workaround
This would be a great addition in fact, we’re looking into it and it’s a bigger challenge than expected, as anything we do must work on ALL platforms. I don’t want to give you false hopes, but keep faith! One day, we’ll have the best audio authoring experience out there
To the Unity audio team - thanks for fixing this bug in 2022.3.27f1. I’ve been working around this bug with extra workflow steps for so long, and I’m really happy not to have to do extra audio enabling steps every time i hit play.
