@phoenix Hey. I just answered you in discord (I’m assuming it’s you since the question is similar)

But i’ll reply here just in case:

It’s possible the install version you used is a relatively old version. Linux repositories tend to use older “stable” versions, but some of those have a problem with sound. However AFAIK this was fixed at least 1 year ago 🤔

In case you’re having trouble with the linux environment setup here’s a good tutorial. Just follow it until you hit `01:30`

Once you reach the “installation” part instead of using `sudo apt install pencil2d` you should try the options in the download page by using either the **Flatpak version** or the **AppImage** version (check another article on how to give execution permissions to appimages via `chmod`)
