I've recently installed X-Plane 12 on Gentoo for the first time and I'm having some issues getting sound to work. I'm able to load into it just fine but there is no output from the sim itself (weirdly enough, some plugins like BetterPushback seem to have sound working). If I go into the game settings it just says "NoSound Driver" and I can't even choose options to switch the audio output.

I did make sure to install media-libs/freeglut and media-libs/openal but I'm really not sure what else the issue could be. I'm using pipewire with the sound-server USE flag enabled, running speaker-test shows ALSA is working, the server name under pactl info shows pipewire, and sound has never been a problem for anything else on this computer.

Here's the CLI output I get when I launch X-Plane and you can see there's a couple of lines talking about ALSA lib and alsoft. There's also an error in FlyWithLua which is an error in their init_openal_sound() function (https://github.com/X-Friese/FlyWithLua/blob/dc48ed9f12af9a77edd275033e74d4790b3cca31/src/FlyWithLua.cpp#L883):

and showing pulse is using pipewire
Code:
$ LANG=C pactl info | grep "Server Name"
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.0.7)


I've seen a few other posts about X-Plane 11/12 and no audio on this forum but they didn't seem to help me at all.

Not going to lie, I have no clue what the *actual* issue was, but as far as I can tell I've fixed it. I disconnected my USB DAC, started X-Plane with just my speakers attached, selected "pipewire" as my output in X-Plane, and then re-connected my USB DAC. Now even after re-starting the sim my DAC is working.
