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

    Crazy - it hasn’t happened again since my original post, until literally just now. I come on Lemmy to look for the thread and remind myself how to fix it, and here is your comment!

    I’ll have a look, thanks :) How is it less secure?
