Troubleshooting
Fixing Audio Issues
If you have a minimal setup and don't have access to audio devices you will need to set the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable. Save the following script in /etc/profile.d/xdg_runtime_dir.sh and re-login to have it set up properly.
if test -z "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/$(id -u)
fi
When you launch a Flatpak you will need to start pulseaudio as well:
pulseaudio --start && flatpak run com.example.Example
