From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No audio for videos but only for one user and with pipewire (slrpnk.net)

I'm suddenly unable to get audio for video files, but only for one user and seemingly only with pipewire.... It's the same in all video players I've tried, flatpak and deb.

If I log in as a different user everything is fine. And if I change the audio to alsa in mpv I get audio again there. Music files are unaffected.

I don't know if a permissions issue has arisen somewhere, another application is 'hogging' pipewire, or something else.

Any help much appreciated!

Debian 13, GNOME 48, Wayland

Boom, looks like it's sorted, thanks! I didn't have a ~/.local/state/pipewire/media-session.d/ directory, but I deleted ~/.local/state/wireplumber/ and then rebooted and all was well again 🤸

Any idea what might have caused the problem in the first place?

MPV is no longer responding to my keyboard shortcuts for media controls (play/pause etc). Not a biggie but understanding the issue might help me solve that too.

I had issues with media keys and ended up using a plugin to handle it: https://github.com/hoyon/mpv-mpris

This may not be the proper solution (since yours were working previously, mine never worked) but if you don't have any other suggestions it may work for you.

I switched from mint to cachy and took my home folder. But i cant say what truly caises it.

Yeah, it could have been something similar for me. I moved a lot of dotfiles over when I switched from Fedora to Debian. I don't remember bringing this one with me but it could have happened.
