Okay, Mastodon, I think I have a problem only you can solve.
I'm doing some maintenance on a game I developed on a Mac in Unity 2021.3.18f1. I'm now working on Ubuntu.
When I first pulled the game from GitHub, it wouldn't run because Unity was complaining about libssl. I got around this by upgrading the project to Unity 2022.3.10f1. Now the game runs (at least within Unity), but the sound doesn't play.
I *can* play the sound files individually from within Unity, but I get warnings like this:
Errors during import of AudioClip Assets/Audio/mixkit-chill-bro-494.mp3:
ffmpeg -i "Temp/fsbankcache750326/tmpinput_HQDdFr.WAV" -f mp4 -codec aac -b:a 192000 -strict experimental -y "Temp/importedAudioTempPrimary750196"
FSBTool ERROR: Error converting Temp/fsbankcache750326/tmpinput_HQDdFr.WAV: make sure you have avconv or ffmpeg installed
FSBTool ERROR: Failed encoding audio clip '/home/drake/Unity/q2t2/Assets/Audio/mixkit-chill-bro-494.mp3' to AAC. Possibly the file is too short. Try to append silence such that the length becomes at least 1024 samples.
(I don't get these warnings when running the game.)
I did install ffmpeg:
$ ffmpeg -version
ffmpeg version 4.4.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2021 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 11 (Ubuntu 11.2.0-19ubuntu1)
What can I do to get my sound to play? Any leads appreciated.
@peterdrake Did you copy over the Library folder? It tends to be full of intermediate files that may be platform specific. Close the unity editor, delete the library folder, and open the project in the editor again. It'll take a minute to rebuild the library folder on launch, but hopefully that should resolve the issue.
@LouisIngenthron Got it in one -- thanks!
Once again, all computer problems are solved by some version of "turn it off and back on again".
