Lyrebird refuses to work, no input device created

[ErisonNull]

Hello! I have that error on Linux Mint 21.2 (ubuntu 22.04)

erisonnull@lmint:~$ lyrebird

Same here! I've might figured that out.

@staticmethod
    def determine_audio_server():
        pactl_info = subprocess.run(["pactl", "info"], capture_output=True, encoding="utf8")
        stdout = pactl_info.stdout
        print(stdout)
        server_name_prefix = "Server Name: "
        for line in stdout.split("\n"):
            if line.startswith(server_name_prefix):
                audio_server = line[len(server_name_prefix):]
                if len(audio_server) == 0:
                    return None
                return audio_server

this method relies on server_name_prefix = "Server Name: " to fetch an audio server name, but if you have a different system locale then this method would fail!

this is my output for example

Имя сервера: **pulseaudio**

so it can't match the string properly

we need to figure out more elegant way of doing this!

Oh and furthermore, creating virtual mic isn't working also
Commands are written totally wrong!

See here for an example
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1398632/how-can-i-fit-python-pyaudio-to-to-virtual-microphone-that-i-created

If i'm going to have some time this week, I'll make a pull request

Cheers!

Switching to pactl --format=json info, might be a fix for this defect.
