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


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.
