NO SOUND on Linux with Flashpeak Slimjet 23.0.6.0. No pulseaudio stream ever shows up in the volume control. A few people have got sound to work by stripping out pulseaudio and using alsa only.
, I finally got the following to work by bypassing pulseaudio and using ALSA directly!!:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD1984A Analog [AD1984A Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 2: AD1984A Alt Analog [AD1984A Alt Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
As you can see, I've got a "card 0."
This fix seems to work but not perfectly. Sometimes Slimjet needs restarting before the sound will work as it does if the computer has been suspended. It's certainly a lot better than nothing though.
Yes, I did a reinstall of Lubuntu to try to get more than 4GB (with PAE) and I found the command didn't work anymore after the Lubuntu reinstall with this error message:
[1596:1596:0813/180120.158273:ERROR:alsa_util.cc(204)] PcmOpen: hw:1,0,No such file or directory
and similar to what ThePillenwerfer said with "aplay -l" , I ran:
I have to open Slimjet by entering that command in terminal. That's how it works for me anyway. I need hw:0,0 as well.
I'm going to mark this thread as partly Solved since it's more of a workaround than a real solution (sound doesn't work everywhere). Best we can do right now. Thanks to all.
A huge "Thank you" to barrycforever for coming up with this magic formula which finally gives sound on the 32 bit Linux version. I first tried Slimjet a few months ago and was impressed except for this problem which the developers never seemed to fix.
Marking it "Partly solved" may be a bit pessimistic as it seems to work OK for me on two different laptops. Of course, for some media to work at all you still need to have the correct up-to-date libffmpeg.so file in your /opt/slimjet folder.
You can open Slimjet from the command line using this new command although that leaves a minimized Terminal sitting in the panel. So I put the whole command in the menu editor item for FlashPeak Slimjet and now it opens normally from the main menu (this is in MX Linux).
For anyone who finds this latest fix for sound doesn't work, make sure you copy and paste the command (ending with 0,0) from barrycforever's latest post. If you type the command by hand it's easy to make typos. Specifically, the first time I tried I failed to notice that there is a space after the first pair of dashes but not after the second pair.

I don't think it's pessimistic at all. I still get no sound on iHeartRadio, Jango, etc.There is no correct up-to-date libffmpeg.so file. If there was, we wouldn't need this workaround for sound. So, while I appreciate some sound, a real fix must come from Slimjet. If you or others get sound everywhere with this, great. But, for me, it's just a partial fix.
