So Here is the problem i’m on the raspbian OS and I’ve installed a few applications with canonical’s snapcraft store .The problem is that There is no sound in any of these applications . For exemple, when I launch retroarch with " snap run retroarch" the application work but I have no sound and I have this message in the terminal;
Most snaps require the pulseaudio daemon that is usually started by your session. If you are not in a graphical environment then you need to start it yourself. Alternatively, if the snap is built to be able to use alsa then you can snap connect snap-name:alsa to give it access to the sound hardware directly.
yes, I’m in a graphical environment so i tried connect snap-name:alsa with retroarch and it is said " error: snap “snap-retroarch” has no plug named “alsa” but the thing is when i type snap connections retroarch, I can see a plug named alsa.
I tried sudo snap connect retroarch:alsa, then, run retroarch, but unfortunately i still have no sound and the same error message that i show previously in this topic.
@lucyllewy I am facing the same bug on my main PC (with graphical environment).
My snap have grade: devel, confinement: devmode and installed my snap with --devmode --dangerous
The error:
When the same code run inside the snap --shell-after I get this

Even after re-editing the snapcraft.yaml to add in a alsa interface and rebuilding it and connecting it, I still get the same errors regarding ALSA. This happens across every application that supports sound that I’ve tried.
