AudioRelay’s on linux is not sending audio to my windows machine

i started audio relay connected them both when i tried playing audio i was not receiving audio on my windows machine

i again connected them but this time my linux machine was gonna receive audio and it did work

i did see in the instructions that i have to create a virtual audio device

i tried typing in the terminal “pulseaudio -k” and it said install pulseaudio by typing “sudo apt install pulseaudio”

i tried it and i am getting this error

nexusreyli@pop-os:~$ sudo apt install pulseaudio

audio relay was working when i first tried it, the audio relay version was 0.26

Hello @Terqz,

If you have Pop!_OS 22.04 or more, you should have PipeWire instead of PulseAudio. That would be why the pactl isn’t available.

Could you please see if this works for you?

  1. Create the file
    ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/10-audiorelay.conf

  2. Copy and paste this into it

context.objects = [
    { factory = adapter
       args = {
           factory.name     = support.null-audio-sink
           node.name        = "audiorelay-virtual-mic-sink"
           node.description = "Virtual-Mic-Sink"
           media.class      = "Audio/Sink"
           audio.position   = "FL,FR"
       }
    }

    { factory = adapter
       args = {
           factory.name     = support.null-audio-sink
           node.name        = "audiorelay-virtual-speaker-sink"
           node.description = "Virtual-Speaker"
           media.class      = "Audio/Sink"
           audio.position   = "FL,FR"
       }
    }
]

  1. Run this so PipeWire loads the config
    systemctl --user restart pipewire.service

  2. Restart AudioRelay

Now, you should be able to use Monitor of Virtual-Speaker in AudioRelay.

If it still doesn’t work, please try this version.

audiorelay-0.27.4.deb
audiorelay-0.27.4.tar.gz

The logs should have slightly more details about the error.

That does not work. I am also on Pop_OS 22.04. Trying to get my Android 13 device to work as a mic. Virtual-Mic-Sink and Virtual-Speaker appear, but Monitor-of-xxxx does not appear in AudioRelay. I am on AudioRelay 0.27.5

This worked for me!

Monitor-of-xxxx did not appear. But Virtual-Speaker did the job.
I opened pavucontrol and set it as the default output.
