Hi I have the latest development version (1.5.2 Nov 21) and I noticed a bug where when I import audio, there’s no waveform and playing the animation has no audio. Below I’ve attached a screenshot, the project, and the audio: ![Screenshot 2023-11-28 180844](https://forums.synfig.org/uploads/default/original/2X/8/894ccdbb1e9d784556229e648e40bfd8ce1bf283.png) [testanim2.sifz](https://forums.synfig.org/uploads/short-url/3rM7UHlqfhxX1Ohj63qeVKiwEYW.sifz) (117.1 KB) > **[cadex again.wav](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FyqnYvKqXpo5fU9-MpWLAQjOGyNdqAvC/view?usp=sharing)** > > Google Drive file. ---

Hello, I have the same issue in Arch when installing from the Arch packages repo (with v. 1.4.5), no soundtrack and no sound. When I use the AppImage, I have the soundtrack but still no sound. Do you know which dependencies I should check? Edit: Sorry, my mistake, I did not use the latest AppImage, now it works fine!
