I installed it with/from apt, so I assumed it's the most recent version? But looking around a bit I saw something (in the steamcommunity) about version 1.3.13, so that would mean the apt version is behind by a lot... And 'apt update' doesn't show any steamlink updates. Not sure if it works on a headless raspberry but I'll try to install the flatpak version later today, maybe that works.Just a thought...Thanks. I asked it in the steamlink forums as well. Unfortunately the reports I found of similar issues that were solved didn't fix this for me. Of course it could be that I missed something or forgot to check a certain fix, so I will keep looking.
Which version of Steamlink are you using?
How did you install it? From the Raspberry Pi repositories or some other way?
It could be that the version that you installed isn't the same as the one in the repository and isn't properly configured to work on the Pi...It's a long shot; but I have seen that with some other software.
Thanks for the suggestion. If I can't find a 'cleaner' solution I might try this. I'm not planing on using Arch soon though, at the moment that is a bit above what I'm comfortable with'a different device' for a Pi5 can be a simple USB-audio stick. I did that for some years in a Pi4 (often headless) when both the 3.5mm and HDMi audio were 'under active development' so always a surprise if an update/upgrade kept it working. Cheap N100 boards use a simple on-board/soldered USB-audio chip for 3.5mm plug, that is lowest risk / highest reliability in Linux when HDMI monitors and HDMI cables (microHDMI) have their issues.I've been trying to get my raspberry pi5 running raspberry pi OS lite to work with steamlink. Everything seems to be running fine, except for the audio. As soon as I start steamlink no sound is played. I tried using Kodi to see if that produces sound, and there the sound works. I tried streaming from my host pc (running fedora linux) to a different device and then the sound works as well.
Also with the always ongoing SW and protocol changes. I use pulse-audio a lot as you can do audio via IP-networking (even WiFi5+) but current pipewire in Debian usually breaks that. I am not sure what Fedora does, but in the other .RPM distro (SuSE) it is no issue. ArchLinux has best description on how to get it working, but it is ArchLinux (not your typical out-of-the-box distro).
