Hi All,

Following a "garuda-update" today, I no longer have any audio within Minecraft. Looking at the latest Minecraft log, this appears to be the relevant section:

[ALSOFT] (EE) Failed to connect output port "alsoft:channel_1" to "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo:playback_FL"

[ALSOFT] (EE) Failed to connect output port "alsoft:channel_2" to "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo:playback_FR"

[10:46:48] [Render thread/INFO]: OpenAL initialized on device JACK Default

[10:46:48] [Render thread/INFO]: Sound engine started

My Google-fu must be failing me today, as I'm unable to find anything useful relating to that message.

Rolling back to the snapshot from before the update, and everything works as expected.

Here are the packages updated today:

There are a few "ALSA" and "Pipewire" related packages there - could one of them be at fault?

Other applications (VLC, Steam games) work correctly

anon30283766 · 26 August 2023 11:12

Which version of Minecraft?
Which launcher?
Modded? If so, which pack?
What version of Java?
Does it work with a different audio output device?

mrdhobbs · 26 August 2023 12:01

Anarcraft, thanks for your questions.

Any Minecraft version (I tried 1.19 and 1.20)
I use Prism Launcher
Modded with my own pack, but by using different Minecraft versions (and thus different Fabric and mod versions) I don't believe the mods are causing the problem - this is confirmed by rolling the Garuda updates back (keeping Minecraft the same) brings the sound back.
Java: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.8.1+1, mixed mode)
Under "Configure Audio Devices" I have two output devices - Headphones (that I use) and HDMI - I don't have any speakers on this monitor, so can't use HDMI audio. There are mulitple Profiles available (Analogue Duplex, Analogue Output, etc), but changing these (and restarting the Minecraft launcher between each change) doesn't affect the result

Edit:
I tried using the vanilla launcher and a freshly-installed vanilla game - the same result

mrdhobbs · 26 August 2023 16:45

I have tried using the LTS kernel (as recommended on another thread about audio not working) - no change.

I have also tried changing the Audio Support options in Garuda Assistant to each option, all without change.

My current set-up, is using the working snapshot, but then upgrading packages individually, testing each time. I am now down to one of the following packages causing the problem, because if I allow a full upgrade from here, I lose the audio in Minecraft:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: python-inputs: local (0.5.0-1.6) is newer than chaotic-aur (0.5-3)

All of these packages seem to be Pipewire related, so I want to upgrade them all at the same time (unless anyone can see a package that would be "safe" to upgrade?)

Renegade · 26 August 2023 17:24

I thought it might have been an issue with the newest pipewire update not recognising java, but I tried Project Zomboid and it works fine, so this is definitely something between minecraft and this pipewire update. I tried with both vanilla launcher and FTB Desktop App, same result, no sound.

I reverted the update with snapper to get the audio back. I wonder about checking what changed in the alsa-card-profiles files.

mrdhobbs · 26 August 2023 21:54

I've found a solution, from the Prism Launcher Discord server:

Create the file /etc/openal/alsoft.conf (I also had to create the openal folder). Insert the following line into the newly-created file:

drivers=alsa

Apply the system updates (if not done so already), then run Minecraft as normal. Sound should now be restored!

Renegade · 27 August 2023 17:27

This worked for me as well. Good find.
