Can't reproduce and haven't heard from similar cases so far. A debug log is required for further investigation. With the Flatpak the log should be located in ~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/temp/kodi.log.

This is happening on my computer and also my mom's computer (which she uses to play her albums):

When I attempt to play an mp3 file, I am getting this often (according to the log):

I even play a video and there is no audio.

I assume your are on Ubuntu 22.04. Your problem is #25002 and the proper fix is queued for Kodi 21.1 (#25019). Also a workaround has been added to the Flatpak today, see flathub/tv.kodi.Kodi#252. This should become available as an update through Flathub over the weekend. Until then you can launch Kodi with the --audio-backend=pulseaudio parameter.

People still use Pulseaudio. You know? Anyway, thanks.

[neo1973]

Updated Flatpak has been released.

[linlinxza]

Awesome. Thanks!
