2.connect to a desktop 3.try to reproduce sound and check logs Actual Results: Errors in terminal, no sound. Expected Results: Sound should work, no errors in terminal. It was working on the previous version, that was recently removed from portage. cat .asoundrc pcm.pulse { type pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } pcm.out1 { type pulse } pcm.out2 { type pulse } pcm.out3 { type pulse } pcm.out4 { type pulse }
There is a workaround for this by adding the following lines to /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/config/module.ini in the section [ClientAudio] : VdcamVersion4Support=False Source: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-workspace-app-for-linux/configure-xenapp.html#audio Are they actually expecting people to not use pulseaudio and just use plain ALSA?
is this still an issue in more recent versions? docs seem to say that alsa in fact is still the default, i have seen wfica show up in pulse as alsa stream and audio always worked please get back and test again with recent version
Closing. Please open back up if the issue still exists in new versions.
