Hello @metehus !

The problem isn't the package, but the audio execution in Linux. Most likely your Ubuntu does not have any audio driver or sound servers (like PulseAudio). Check this.

If you running your ubuntu in a VM, do not forget to take a look in the Audio Section in VirtualBox and verify if the driver is set correctly.

But, if you running your Ubuntu in a WSL/WSL2, you can use this tutorial to use pulseaudio in your Windows with WSL2.
