No audio from server to client

[Inventel]

Hello, I installed NoMachine on my EndevourOS laptop (arch based) and everything works fine except for the audio which I can’t get to work on the client side.

I enabled everything, edited node.cfg with “AudioInterface pipewire” and “EnableAudio 1” but it still doesn’t work. Also if I remember correctly a new device should appear among the sound output devices called “nomachine” but it’s not there.

If anyone can help me I would be very grateful, thanks.

Can you try to open nxplayer via terminal (run /usr/NX/bin/nxplayer) and check if there is any sound device available in the sound settings when you connect to the same server?

I tried but still no sound device.

I don’t know if it’s clear from the first post but my laptop is running NoMachine server while I use an android phone as a client via the NoMachine app to access the laptop. I can’t stream audio from the server to the android client.

Hello and sorry for the late reply.

What are your audio settings on EndevourOS? Also could you send us the logs from the server-side machine?
Here’s how you can gather them: https://kb.nomachine.com/DT07S00243

You can submit them here or send to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com using the the title of this topic as the subject of your email.

Regards,

I sent the logs via email.

Thanks.

From what we’ve found in your logs there are a lot of messages regarding the pa_context_connect() not connecting properly and the PulseAudio / PipeWire environment as a whole.

Could you try to ensure that the pipewire is working correctly and that the “pactl info” returns valid information without any errors?

Thanks and regards,
Jakub

That’s what I get from the command:

Server String: /run/user/1000/pulse/native
Library Protocol Version: 35
Server Protocol Version: 35
Is Local: yes
Client Index: 665
Tile Size: 65472
User Name: l------
Host Name: g-----
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.4.2)
Server Version: 15.0.0
Default Sample Specification: float32le 2ch 48000Hz
Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right
Default Sink: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic.HiFi__Speaker__sink
Default Source: alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic.HiFi__Mic1__source
Cookie: bb1a:d1a8

Pipewire is working correctly.

From the comment section of the aur package of nomachine I see a lot of comments of other users having the same issue.
