Issues installing and running on Manjaro/Arch. Probably an issue with Intel audio

[hamster4430]

I followed this tutorial: https://steamcommunity.com/app/410340/discussions/3/3211505894113757828/

First of all, I was unable to find portaudio19-dev, but there were already portaudio 1:19.6.0-6 and lib32-portaudio 1:19.6.0-4 installed. Here is a screenshot of what is available in repos.

module make was successful

[olive@olive-videoproject module]$ make

I had the same issue and just tried a different sound device that showed up after a while and it worked. The one that worked for me was

HDA Intel PCH: ALC887-VD Analog (hw:0,0)

and before it was only showing

HDA Intel PCH: ALC887-VD Alt-Analog (hw:0,2)

About the driver not showing up on the dmesg tail, it might be somewhere up there. Just make sure the device shows up in-game after injecting the module or try this:

sudo dmesg | grep PPM
