My use case is a bit different from you guys, since I’m using linux for the player, but I was having issues with sound initially as well. I am using pipewire on my server instead of pulseaudio, so the module option didn’t apply to me. If you did try the
module-esound-sinkand it didn’t work, then I would recommend that you remove that module since it is recommended to not use that unless you have to as it can lead to other problems for other things!
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Modules/#module-esound-sinkI am using pulseaudio on the player side, but yesterday Arch put out a few updates on the server side, one of them being Pipewire 1:1.4.5-1, and now everything is working fine.
You can check if your linux machine is using PipeWire or PulseAudio by running the command <code class=”qlv4I7skMF6Meluz0u8c wZ4JdaHxSAhGy1HoNVja _dJ357tkKXSh_Sup5xdW”>pactl info in the terminal. If it shows “Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire…)”, then PipeWire is in use; otherwise, if it only mentions PulseAudio, then it is using PulseAudio.
The steps I took were to to install all updates, reboot, rebuild and reinstall the newest version of NoMachine (make sure you rebuild it and not just reinstall it). Make sure to do this on both client and server side. (on windows just uninstall, reboot, then reinstall). Make sure you have a backup of your connections just in case. This is basically what I did and now everything is working for me, including a different issue I was having that was causing a core dump.
Also, as another side note (and I’m only saying this because I’ve done this many times and always forget about it), make sure you didn’t disable sound in the connection settings lol…
Good luck, hope this helps!
Hi @Bilbotine! Thank you for the reply. I actually had the player on Arch and was connecting to other servers, but I may have spoken too soon here. Arch put out a few new updates yesterday and I rebuilt NoMachine and now everything is working perfectly, including the audio issue I was having. I’ll post back if the core dump happens again. Sorry for the bother!
Thanks,
Not sure if this is relevant, but one of the guys over in the aur was having audio problems on linux and found that: “For people encountering no sound in NoMachine after upgrade to Pulseaudio 17.0, Pulseaudio needs to be rebuild to add the module-esound-sink”

Hi Britgirl, thanks for the update and I totally understand the policy, sorry about that, guess I should have read the rules before posting…
Thank you!
@Britgirl, Thank you!
Hi, just wondering if anyone found a real solution to this? I’m having the exact same problem. First noticing this on version 7.8.2 free version.
NoMachine server on Windows 10 Pro 21H2 from a Linux Player on Arch based system using xfce with 5.16 kernel. Running NoMachine 7.8.2 on both computers and connecting to physical display. Linux to Linux seems to work normally. Have not been able to test Windows to Windows.
All NX server settings are default on windows machine.
