Grr, close but not there yet. Would really like some help.
Late, but this may help someone else if not you:
They are stored (should be) in /usr/games/plugins/
Just point your PCSX installation there in the plugins settings. If you installed it locally (i.e. compiled it) and it is not happy looking for the plugins where you pointed to locally, just copy them to /usr/games/plugins/. Failing that, there's the Appimage (see below)
Also, the reason there's no audio could be that PCSX2 sometimes defaults to SPU2null plugin. Just go to the plugins select option and choose the other one, SPU2-X 2.0.0 (or whatever version it is you have).
If you want to make your life easy, there's the AppImage repo:
https://github.com/ferion11/PCSX2_Appima...continuous
Before you run the AppImage:
1. Backup ~/.config/PCSX2, then delete everything it it other than your PS BIOS dump and memory cards.
2. As root apt-get purge pcsx2 && apt-get autoremove
3. Probably a dumb reminder, but chmod a+x <pcsx2-version>.appimage
4. Optionally, as root, mv pcsx2.appimage /usr/loca/bin/
(Note it's better to place a soft link to it if you have a small /usr/ partition, but most *nix users only have /tmp, /var, /home, and / as separate partitions and storage these days is plentiful for systems on a single partition).
Note: The appimage may give a plugin error message about not being able to find them. Ignore it and it should automagically find them (may require a restart). After that, your settings in ~/.config/PCSX2/ default and you'll have to reconfigure the plugins. I do not suggest migrating older config files as a lot has changed between 1.4 and 1.5, and even more by 1.7 (dev). If there's a setting that seems missing, it's most likely merged into another one / redundant, or it was simply moved since the UI has changed and some of the settings have been recategorised.
