Wa alaikum salam Umar,

I'm using Elementary OS 5.0 Juno which based on Ubuntu 18.04 and facing the same issue.

The error occurred because of missing class, so we need to add and register it to zekr.sh.

Here is my workaround

----------------------------------------------------------------

wget -qO tmp.zip http://www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/tritonus/tritonus-utils.jar.zip && sudo unzip tmp.zip -d /opt/zekr/lib/ && rm -f tmp.zip
sudo sed -i 's_:lib/tritonus-jorbis-0.3.6.jar:lib/jorbis-0.0.17.jar_:lib/tritonus-jorbis-0.3.6.jar:lib/tritonus-utils.jar:lib/jorbis-0.0.17.jar_' /opt/zekr/zekr.sh

----------------------------------------------------------------

It is assumed that we installed zekr to /opt.

the result is as attached

Alhamdulillah, after 3 weeks searching for this, plus a little "ngoprek",  my Xubuntu can playing the audio in Zekr. Jazakallah my friend
