No sound on 5.6.0xb3 under Fedora 25

Confirmed sound works just fine on 5.5.0xp1 - in Editor.log I get:

AudioManager: Using PulseAudio: Default Output Device

On 5.6.0b3, no sound whatsoever - in Editor.log the following line appears:

AudioManager: Using Unknown: NoSound Driver

I straced the binary and I can see a lot of pulseaudio-related activity, so it would not appear to be a missing dependency, and the fact 5.50xp1 works on the exact same configuration would seem to indicate this is a bug.

I have the same issue on Ubuntu, in both 5.6.0xb1 and xb3. It only affects the editor, so the sound works fine when the game is built.

I’m seeing the same behavior, also Fedora 25.

Same behavior.

Unity 5.6.0xb3.

Linux version 3.16.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Debian 4.8.4-1) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt7-1 (2015-03-01)

I’m in the same boat. No sound in the editor (both when playing the game and when playing audio assets by themselves) but all sounds work fine when playing a game build.

Same on arch linux. No sound on 5.6 but working ok on 5.5.

Having the same problem on U16.04
5.5 worked fine, 5.6 doesn’t.
Any1 found a solution to this?

Same behavior.

Unity 5.6.0xb3.

Had the issue under 5.6.0b3, but did not when I rolled it back to 5.5.0f3.

Same here on 5.6.0xb3 on Slackware 14.2. :frowning:
I hope this is resolved soon. Having to build to test audio isn’t very productive.

Same behavior, ubuntu 16

12

Confirming behaviour, using Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, kernel 4.4.0-59-generic, Unity 5.6.0xb3

Is there an official bug tracking system to up vote the issue even though this is an experimental editor?

A new build of 5.6 was released, 5.6.0b6, and the release note claim that the audio issue is fixed. Can anyone confirm?

16

I just tested it, it was not worked for me on 5.6.0b3 and it does work on 5.6.0b6
Ubuntu 16.04.

Thanks for the fix guys!

new build dont start with illegal instruction… Anybody known howto fix sound in 5.6.0b3 build?

18

I’m pretty sure it’s not possible. You have to wait for the new build which hopefully has solved the illegal instruction problem. If you really have to work on sound at this moment, I guess you could downgrade to a lower version and upgrade later on.

By the way, no way to select the audio device to output to, on linux, yet. Am i right? I have to use FMod instead.
