Please execute the following on the Linux side and send us the output.

ps -aux | grep nxnode

Then read the PID

And then: cat /proc/<PID>/environ

ps -aux | grep nxnode
jlp         1402  0.0  0.1 1632712 65932 ?       S<l  Mar06   0:03 /usr/NX/bin/nxnode.bin

Hi,

It seems that you experience an issue that is specific for Arch-based platforms. If you open NoMachine application from the tray and then connect to a server, the list of audio devices doesn’t load, so you can’t hear sound from the server. Try opening NoMachine with a command (/usr/NX/bin/nxplayer) and then  connect to your server and check if there’s sound during the session.

I hope this will help to solve your issue.

Regards,

Kuba

Hi,

Seems like a recent update fixed this issue.
Mark this as solved!

Sorry, not solved…

But I understand something:
Audio works only when the NoMachine Service is NOT running in the background.
As soon as I run NoMachine Service in the background I lose audio?

Perhaps it is a Firewall issue??
Please advise.
Thanks!

Hi, can you try the suggestion provided by Kuba last time? Try opening NoMachine from the command line (/usr/NX/bin/nxplayer) and then connect to your server and check if there’s sound during the session.
