Alright I've got it working. The problem seems to be with pulseaudio, so I installed pipwire instead and used it as a replacement for pulseaudio, alsa and jack. Then from the settings I select default speaker and it works as expected (I get audio from the other side). Only problem is if i want to select a different speaker I wouldn't be able to. I should also mention that i switched from manjaro linux to arch linux, but I don't think that has much to do with it.

so if anyone else is experiencing the same problem i'd recommend installing pipewire and selecting the default speaker from the SVC settings.

I think this is an issue of the Java sound API. Can you try it with a newer java version like 11, 15 or 16?
Please also try it without any other mods installed.

Aditeya · Answer 3 · 2021-05-22T12:35:56.000Z

I just tried java 11, 15 and 16
same issue on all
no mods (except for fabric API but I don't think this counts)

henkelmax · Answer 4 · 2021-05-22T12:40:57.000Z

Alright, then there is nothing I can do... These are the audio devices that are recognized by Java. Maybe your other devices do not support 48000Hz stereo.

Aditeya · Answer 5 · 2021-05-22T14:47:41.000Z

Actually soundcard 3 was set to 96kHz, I set it to 48kHz and it didn't work as well. I should also mention that trying sound card 2 didn't work as well, however mic input works for both.

EDIT: soundcard 2 is 48Hz by default, it can't go any higher

henkelmax · Answer 6 · 2021-05-22T14:51:12.000Z

OK, then there is nothing I can do about it, unfortunately. I just display every sound device provided by the java sound API.

That's odd...
voicechat-1.16.4-1.3.11x.zip

Can you please test it on this version?
I just removed the isLineSupported line.

Aditeya · Answer 9 · 2021-05-25T20:46:53.000Z

Yes I can choose Audio [plughw:3,0] now!
Testing if there is audio output will take a few hours, so ill get back asap.

Aditeya · Answer 10 · 2021-05-25T20:13:44.000Z

Alright I decided to play around the java sound API and found that it does play sounds on my system. rh.wav is the test wav file i used and Audio [plughw:3,0], version 5.10.36-2-MANJARO is my audio device (USB soundcard which is why it looks different) which should show up on the gui as Audio [plughw:3,0] (i think) but it doesn't.

This is the code and output:

package test;

import java.io.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.sound.sampled.*;
import javax.swing.*;

// To play sound using Clip, the process need to be alive.
// Hence, we use a Swing application.
public class Test extends JFrame {

    // Constructor
    public Test() {
        this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        this.setTitle("Test Sound Clip");
        this.setSize(300, 200);
        this.setVisible(true);

        try {
            // Open an audio input stream.
            Mixer.Info[] mixerInfo = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
            for (Mixer.Info i : mixerInfo) {
                System.out.println(i);
            }
            
            URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("rh.wav");
            AudioInputStream audioIn = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(url);
            // Get a sound clip resource.
            Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip(mixerInfo[12]);
            // Open audio clip and load samples from the audio input stream.
            clip.open(audioIn);
            clip.start();
            clip.drain();
        } catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (LineUnavailableException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Test();
    }
}

output:

henkelmax · Answer 11 · 2021-05-25T20:23:23.000Z

What is the output generated by this?

Mixer.Info[] mixers = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
for (Mixer.Info mixerInfo : mixers) {
    Mixer mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(mixerInfo);
    Line.Info lineInfo = new Line.Info(SourceDataLine.class);
    if (mixer.isLineSupported(lineInfo)) {
        System.out.println(mixerInfo.getName());
    }
}

henkelmax · Answer 12 · 2021-05-25T20:26:08.000Z

I think mixer.isLineSupported(lineInfo) is the problem:

I think this condition is redundant anyway...

Aditeya · Answer 13 · 2021-05-25T20:27:32.000Z

Does this contain your device?

Aditeya · Answer 15 · 2021-05-25T20:29:31.000Z

yes the last one Audio [plughw:3,0]

henkelmax · Answer 16 · 2021-05-25T20:30:27.000Z

This is the exact same code used in the mod. If it is in this list it should also be available in the mod.
Which audio devices are available in the Minecraft GUI?

Aditeya · Answer 17 · 2021-05-26T10:16:48.000Z

Yeah same problem. They can hear me but I can't hear them.
Also somewhat interestingly I found extra devices in the speaker setting which don't work as well:

Port Loopback [hw:0]
Port HDMI [hw:1],
Port Generic [hw:2]
Port Audio [hw:3]

henkelmax · Answer 18 · 2021-05-26T11:30:00.000Z

Do any of your output devices work?

Aditeya · Answer 19 · 2021-05-26T09:43:39.000Z

Alright so I've tested it and I can't hear my friends even tho I can choose my sound card. They can hear me as well and the audio icon is showing up on their name tags but no audio from their side.

here is the log file log.txt

henkelmax · Answer 20 · 2021-05-26T09:45:50.000Z

Are you using a custom launcher?

Aditeya · Answer 21 · 2021-05-26T09:48:24.000Z

Yeah its MultiMC

henkelmax · Answer 22 · 2021-05-26T09:49:21.000Z

Can you try using the vanilla launcher?

henkelmax · Answer 23 · 2021-05-26T13:57:40.000Z

OK... I have no clue what the problem could be.
My guess would be that somehow your driver or sound device doesn't meet the requirements...
Do you have another audio device that you can plug in your PC?

Aditeya · Answer 24 · 2021-05-26T11:48:44.000Z

If I run the code I sent earlier, in netbeans, the device Audio [plughw:3,0] will play audio from the wav file.

henkelmax · Answer 25 · 2021-05-26T11:49:56.000Z

No, I mean the voice chat mod.
Did I understand correctly, that the right audio device shows up, but it still doesn't work?

Aditeya · Answer 26 · 2021-05-26T11:59:48.000Z

Yes, I have the right audio device selected but I still can't hear my friends audio, even in the groups section. But they can hear me.

henkelmax · Answer 27 · 2021-05-26T12:12:21.000Z

Do you hear yourself when testing your microphone?

Aditeya · Answer 28 · 2021-05-26T12:17:31.000Z

no, but I do see the voice volume level meter working.

Aditeya · Answer 29 · 2021-05-26T14:33:44.000Z

I just tried it with motherboard audio (Generic [plughw:2,0]) and same problem. Maybe you can give some code snippets of how audio is played so i can debug it? I think that even tho its being selected, java has some problem trying to play it and isn't displaying the error.

Aditeya · Answer 31 · 2021-05-26T16:53:20.000Z

Alright so in DataLines.java line 76 I found that the try catch gives this error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Line unsupported: interface SourceDataLine
	at com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDevice.getLine(DirectAudioDevice.java:174)
	at test.Test3.getDeviceByName(Test3.java:99)
	at test.Test3.getSpeakerByName(Test3.java:87)
	at test.Test3.getSpeaker(Test3.java:78)
	at test.Test3.<init>(Test3.java:37)
	at test.Test3.main(Test3.java:69)

I assume this is given because the Line is not supported for this audio card either because its newer or because its USB based.

henkelmax · Answer 32 · 2021-05-26T16:54:51.000Z

OK, then it is a problem of your system or Java...

henkelmax · Answer 33 · 2021-06-01T14:30:04.000Z

I'm gonna close this for now...
