The Ubuntu deb prerequisites for wsjtx-2.0.0 cannot be met by my
current Mint distribution, so I built wsjtx-2.0.0 from the source

I could get no audio input, and the dropdown lists for audio
configuration were empty.
After some searchling, I found that libqt5multimedia5-plugins is a
required library that is not specified in the build.
It *is* mentioned in CMakeLists.txt as a prerequisite for the deb
package.
Installing libqt5multimedia5-plugins ["apt-get
libqt5multimedia5-plugins"] solved the problem.
Hope this might help others who are similarly puzzled by Linux audio
problems.

Hi Ross,
the current version of Linux Mint is suitable for installing the WSJT-X
v2.0.0 official release Debian package, which version of Mint are you using?
The Qt5 multimedia plugins package is not a build dependency for WSJT-X
but it is a run time dependency. That is why it is mentioned in the User
Guide:
