Audio cannot be heard through discord when sharing screen audio

I have followed all the steps written here, I have installed the extension, I have given it permissions, I have installed bash, I have the requirements installed...

But I am new to Linux and using Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon based on ubuntu and Firefox

I also wanted to know if I need to configure anything else besides installing this repository and how I should do it

Please help me T_T

Have you tried sharing a specific node? All Desktop Audio is currently broken. It will be removed in 0.4.0, which is almost ready, but I haven't found the time to publish the release.

@AitorLinux I experience this issue and my workaround is to use a patchbay such as Helvum to connect application audio to the pipewire-screenaudio sink. I'm not sure whether this is intended behavior, but it gets audio to my Discord streams. I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 using the Firefox snap.

@grimshins I'm not sure if the install script is compatible with snaps. If it works like flatpak at least, where firefox has its profile folder located in the flatpak dir.

@IceDBorn It appears as though the snap is aware of ~/.mozilla/ since otherwise the extension would throw the Native connector is misconfigured or missing error. The snap itself has its own directory at ~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/. I take it the audio injection is supposed to take place automatically?

Linux Mint 21.3 does not use Pipewire by default. This will change in Mint 22. For now, you can try this workaround.

@grimshins Can you try the workaround and then close the issue if it fixes the extension for you?

Think the above reply was meant for @AitorLinux

You're right, wrong tag, I'm sorry. @AitorLinux
