MATLAB AudioToolBox app fails

Hi everyone,

I´m currently running MATLAB on Linux and I cannot launch a written application that uses AudioToolBox for my homework, on Windows 10 everything is fine I just launch the app and it works but on Linux I get these errors:

PortAudio Error: Unanticipated host error

My speaker and microphone work fine with any other activity.

Can anybody help me sort this out?

Contact Tech Support.

Do you have any kind of firewall in place? It looks like the code is trying to contact a helper process.

Similar errors appear on Arch Linux when i try to run sound().

The unknown error is just ok, see in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31603555/unknown-pcm-cards-pcm-rear-pyaudio

Then, the next error may cause by alsa, see in https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/issues/155

In Arch Linux, the package has not been updated since 14-Jun-2021. also see inhttps://github.com/PortAudio/portaudio/issues/599. (Pay attention to the time.

May you can downgrade manually or wait for the update (you know it has a lot of dependence.

For different distro, maybe other reasons.
