Same issue here including nightly, I even went through the hassle of installing pipe wire at one point to try getting audio working and it worked for a little bit but everything stopped working the instant I decided to try updating to the non-appimage version of alvr...

same here, i use alvr v20.6.1 appimage and mint with qeust 2

I'm guessing this might be related to the SteamVR update, and it's recommended to follow #2115 to try and verify if it's available.

I got it to work, follow the guide zggzcyg linked and don’t forget to force compatibility after you use the guide, I forgot to which led me here.
EDIT: if you’re on quest 2 use this #2130 (comment)
