I am creating a Bash program using Replit and it needs to play sound. What should I do? I surfed through the docs but they were of no use.

CodePudding user response：

1. Create a secret called VNC_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_AUDIO with a value of 1
2. Trigger the VNC screen by opening a native desktop window like xeyes in the background
3. Create your audio
4. Tick the checkbox at the bottom right corner of the VNC view

Steps 3 and 4 are interchangable, but to play sound browsers require a user interaction and Replit solves it this way.

Example replit.nix file

{ pkgs }: {
    deps = [
      pkgs.bashInteractive
      pkgs.speechd
      pkgs.xlibs.xeyes
    ];
}

Example main.sh file

{ pkgs }: {
    deps = [
      pkgs.bashInteractive
      pkgs.speechd
      pkgs.xlibs.xeyes
    ];
}

Resulting Replit (requires CORS JS iframe embeds)
