  • To enable access to `PulseAudio` for `OpenRGB` you need to add `--socket=pulseaudio` to the `finish-args` section of the application's manifest.
  • You can test this permission change without modifying the manifest by running the application with (a temporary permission adjustment): `flatpak run --socket=pulseaudio org.openrgb.OpenRGB`. If the application works correctly with this permission, you can either [request a permanent change to the manifest](https://github.com/flathub/org.openrgb.OpenRGB) or use a tool like **Flatseal** or the command line to add this permission to your installation.
