Hi, Can you share an example for testing? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Created attachment 128388 [details] example Yeah, here you go!
I think that the attached file does not contain sound data. At least neither FoxIt Reader nor PDF-XChange Editor shows them. No attached files found.
but it plays on my phone with ezpdfreader, also the site where I downloaded it recommended that I use Adobe Acrobat PC Pro
Created attachment 128391 [details] it plays here
Does using phonon-qt5-gstreamer instead of phonon-qt5-vlc work fixes the issue for you?
I just did that, I installed phonon-qt5-gstreamer but there was no difference (I got the same logs/warnings in the terminal). Then I uninstalled phonon-qt5-vlc and there was no logs but still no sound. I checked my journal and the issue pulseaudio logs aren't there either
