Hi,  
I am new to Convai, I am trying to build an unreal project in Windows for linux shipping and run it on linux. But Convai cannot detect any audio devices in it.  
I saw a similar post in Nov 2024 but it did not have any solution for this.

Is there a recommended distro for Convai where everything is tested and runs?

In these logs I just opened the project held [T] tried speaking but the AI said that I was not speaking how can I help all that

I am using Corsair Headphones for both input and output audio. They work perfectly fine and my linux system also detects it  
Funny thing is the project is giving me audio as the Avatar speaks

Joining the thread as paying customer. We are on the same team . We are keen to hear about the solutions. [16:16:46] ConvaiChatbotComponentLog : Log : Chatbot Total Received Audio: 0.000000 seconds The microphone appears absent in the codebase.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out and for bringing this up.

I checked with our Unreal Engine team, and currently microphone input is not supported on Linux builds.  
Linux support within Convai is primarily intended for dedicated server deployments or Pixel Streaming setups, rather than full client-side interaction.

If your use case involves direct user voice input, we recommend building and running the project on Windows or macOS for now.

We understand this limitation can be inconvenient, and we’ll share any updates if Linux audio input becomes officially supported in the future.

We have built on windows previously and currently building dedicated server deployment including pixel streaming on Linux. Upon looking at the code we believe we should be able to get it running given access to sdk and update the plugin. It took us forever to get the package running on Linux and now we are stuck on the microphone. Does it have anything to do with unreal ? I hope there will be a solution very soon. Can you assist any further ? There might be a work around.

When using Pixel Streaming, the microphone input is handled directly through the browser, so there’s no additional setup required on your end for that part.
