I'm on Linux Mint 18, 32 bit. Just installed Slimjet version 22.0.4.0 & no sound, videos play, but without sound. Sound works fine on Firefox & Chromium and worked fine on previous Slimjet versions. I've tried various ffmpegs, even grabbed the chromium one, but no success. I'm stumped, any ideas?
Edit: A bug maybe? Slimjet won't open with some ffmpegs. With others it opens, but no sound.

Texstar reports that this second possible solution is working for 64 bit usersbarrycforever wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2019 9:31 amI tried to copy in the libffmpeg library and that didn't work, but I left that in.
As Texstar hinted at an issue with pulseaudioI finally got the following to work by bypassing pulseaudio and using ALSA directly!!:
pasuspender -- /usr/bin/flashpeak-slimjet --alsa-output-device=hw:1,0
This is very frustrating, but it's nice to get something to work on 32-bit Linux!

PS This was an Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (from a Lubuntu Alternate ISO).

I put this libffmpeg.so in my /opt/slimjet folder
https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg- ... ux-x64.zip
Then I symlinked as root
ln -fs /var/lib/dbus/machine-id /etc/machine-id
rebooted and got sound. I friend of mine did the same and did not get sound. Another user did the same as me and got sound. YMMV
