Hi,

I have had sound on my linux hosted installation under Ubuntu 20 and 22. I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 24 LTS and the sound no longer works. I installed the 3/13/2025 aros snapshot which had an alsa driver version of 6.5 rather than 6.4 but there was still no sound. Does anyone know of a workaround or settings that need to be changed to get the alsa sound working again? Thanks.

Have you tried deleting the AHI save and recreating it?

sudo apt install libasound2-plugins

and enable it manually by creating a .asoundrc file in your home directory with the following contents:

pcm.default pulse
ctl.default pulse

Amigasystem,

Yes, I tried a brand new install of the entire system and this did not enable sound.

Thanks, I did what you instructed but it did not enable sound in linux hosted AROS after a reboot of Ubuntu. Disappointing Shock(

64bit or 32bit aros linux hosted?

32bit package versions:
sudo apt install libasound2-plugins:i386

Hi retrofaza,

It is 32 bit linux hosted. The i386 library was already installed and was the newest version available so still no luck. Is there a different name for the config file between 64- and 32-bit libraries?

All,

Finally fixed the audio problem. It required:

sudo apt install pipewire-alsa:i386

Now sound works fine. Thanks.
