KDE Elisa auto-connect request pulseaudio

Elisa needs pulseaudio auto connect for sound. audio-playback alone doesn’t seem to work. As a music player, sound is essential. Thanks, Scarlett

Hmm so this is the second instance of a KDE app which seems to need pulseaudio to playback audio (ie. where audio-playback is not sufficient). That sounds like a bug in snapd - can you provide any more details @scarlettmoore? Are there any relevant DENIALS in dmesg? What does snappy-debug suggest?

audio-playback doesn’t seem to work for any of our snaps. snappy-debug reveals nothing. Trust me I have been banging my head on this for weeks. audio-record worked for gcompris, trying it here now. unfortunately audio-record is not auto connected either.

Do you have libpulse included and LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to it ? Technically audio-playback and pulseaudio should behave identical for the playback part… (It was just recording that got split out back when we deprecated the pulseaudio interface)

is the output of env in snap run --shell and

it is there ls /snap/kf6-core22/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pulseaudio/ libpulsecommon-15.99.so

I might be doing something wrong, but when adding .mp3 and .wav files to the reproduction queue and pressing the play button anything happens. The reproduction bar does not move at all.

Terminal shows:

Gtk-Message: 14:32:40.791: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Is this expected?

Nevermind, qtmultimdia is not working, can’t find ffmpeg snap files.

Hi, can you test elisa in --edge for me please.

It seems to work perfectly now
