Teamspeak6 Beta3 on Fresh Ubuntu 25.10 Hardware Encoding not detected (Intel A380 / QSV)

I’ve installed TeamSpeak 6 beta3 on my test system using a fresh and updated Ubuntu 25.10 install using the following test system:

  • CPU: Intel i5-11400 (supports Quick Sync Video)

  • GPU 1: Intel UHD 730 (integrated)

  • GPU 2: Intel Arc A380 (DG2)

  • Drivers: intel-media-va-driver-non-free installed, i915 and xe kernel modules loaded

  • FFmpeg version: 7.1.1

  • TeamSpeak version: 6.0.0-beta3

Problem:
TeamSpeak only shows “Internal (software)” as the encoding type and does not use hardware encoding (QSV or VAAPI). and the options are grayed out and I am unable to change them.

System checks:

  • vainfo shows encoding support for H264, HEVC, VP9, AV1 and more

  • FFmpeg lists hardware encoders such as h264_qsv, hevc_qsv, av1_qsv

  • Kernel drivers i915 and xe are loaded, and /dev/dri/renderD128 and renderD129 devices exist

Is this to be expected?

Thanks for the report. We can reproduce the issue and are looking into it.

I have the same thing happening on Kubuntu 25.10

Hardware endoding/decoding is working fine in other apps. vainfo shows support for h264, hevc, vp9 and av1

I have an RX 9060 XT installed in the system.

Please retest this with the next beta release

Im testing on Debian 13 latest beta3.3 and this is the result. There is still not detected decoding, in some one of them and anothers like VP9 VP8 all by software. I have to say I use a RX9070XT.

Main issue is fixed. H.264 and AV1 QSV now work but I am on a fresh CachyOS install atm of this test for the updated. Only VP8/VP9 still grayed out (despite the driver support).

Quick note why I’m not on Ubuntu right now: I have this hobby of wiping and trying a new distro every couple of weeks or so just for fun and to see what’s new and try different distros on my test machine. I’ll nuke it again soon and go back to Ubuntu both 24.04 lts and 25.10 to double-check if the fix works there too.

Big thanks either way

VP8/9 hardware acceleration isn‘t supported at the moment. It’s not working on windows either.
