I'm using the normal Android Emulator that is part of Android Studio. Works just fine. Just make sure hardware acceleration is enabled: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration#vm-linux

If you feel like banging your head a bit, you could always give Anbox a try.

I was able to get video and sound in apps. They were always quite flaky though. Sometimes would just close. It was usually because I would try to increase or decrease the size of the "screen" and then it would drop. Simple apps and a couple streaming apps did "work".

I was also running a rooted image though so that may not have helped.

I think it's pretty cool and (like most) given enough time and effort put in dev, it could go somewhere...
