I'm running LMDE Cindy, release date 31 Aug 18. The earlier LMDE distribution
that I was previously running did not meet build dependencies The thing that
confused me is that the "missing" plugin library did not generate a linker
error. Web searches for wsjtx-2.0 and missing audio didn't help. It took some
days for me to realise that the library requirement was the cause of the
problem. Perhaps the development team could consider making a explicit library
call to generate a linker error message, or adding this library to the build
dependency list. Ross

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 package.
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:
