Is the new sound system on Fedora 34 compatible with NoMachine?

[ValorCat]

I upgraded all my studio machines to Fedora 34.
I am now unable to edit video or animate to audio with my client devices.

My theory is the new pipewire audio is incompatible? (Coming from the old PulseAudio)

I don’t entirely know, but I’ve futsed with all the audio settings and I just can’t seem to get any audio to play….

Once this is ironed out NoMachine will still be my favorite Linux remote desktop!

Cheers!

I have the same issue, I opened an issue on the Pipewire repo but having no luck at the moment, if you can drop some logs and comments there it might help expedite the fix.

NoMachine is currently not supporting pipewire, we have opened new Feature Request FR05S04169 – Adding support to PipeWire Sound Server. You can subscribe to the mailing list to be notifed when this FR is implemented by selecting “Notify me when the FR is implemented” and adding your email address.

To be able to use audio in the session we can advice to use workaround mentioned in the Feature Request.

I did what you suggested: installed PulseAudio to both host and client.

Nada…. even after futzing with audio settings on both sides audio simply won’t work on the client.

I love NoMachine… but she no longer loves me back 💔

Can you execute after installing pulseaudio following command:
/usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxnode --audiosetup

or check this forum post no-audio-and-microphone-with-pulseaudio

That worked!! Thank you!
But unfortunately, DaVinci Resolve 17 no longer outputs audio… on NoMachine or my computer..

Possibly DaVinci Resolve is now configured to use PipeWire and you need to select PulseAudio. Can you check possibly if you can select PulseAudio in DaVinci Resolve Preferences > Video and Audio I/O.
