LMMS Doesn't Play Audio

  • 772

That's pretty much it. LMMS doesn't make any sounds. Which makes the program very difficult to use.

I don't understand why. Literally every other program on my computer plays sounds fine. Including Firefox, Chrome, Spotify, Audacity (with ALSA).

I have a very normal setup. Haven't mucked around with any settings. LMMS was installed with apt-get install lmms.

Ubuntu 16.10, LMMS 1.1.3. Let me know if you want other info.

  1. I had to use the jack connection app to get audio to work, ALSA wouldn't do anything. I'm on Mint 17.3(ubuntu 14)

    $ sudo apt-get install qjackctl

    then run with

    $ qjackctl

    it seemed to wire up the connection automatically. Try restarting LMMS after you start jack if you get problems. enter image description here

  2. The default settings of LMMS did not work on my Ubuntu 16.04 either, but I changed its audio API to SDL (Simple Direct Media Layer) and it worked fine.
