General system Gaming, sound and video

Hello,

When trying to use the MOC player I get the follwing error

Running the server...
Trying JACK...
Trying ALSA...
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1035:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Trying OSS...

FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver!


FATAL_ERROR: Server exited!

I do have sound from the browser for example.

How can I fix the issue?

I also have checked for alsa packages and there are some installed with pacman.

Thanks,

what exactly is installed for moc-player?
This?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/moc-pulse/
As the error output seems to look like it does not try PulseAudio what is still default on EndeavourOS.

I installed it from the official repositories not the aur. But I understand what you are saying but not how to fix the problem.

4

Perhaps I should install pulseaudio-alsa package?
