I wanted to use hardware acceleration on Google Chrome, so I followed several tips such as arch wiki’s hardware acceleration article and howto tips on the forum. However, I must do something wrong — videos with audio does not play; both for videos on web and videos in my computer. If I mute the audio or turn off the audio track then the video plays very well. That’s why I think this is an audio decoder problem.
Operating System: Manjaro Linux
The graphics driver is nonfree NVIDIA driver installed with MHWD.

I followed that tutorial to enable the hardware acceleration, but removing created Chrome config file does not solve this problem.
so play a video on your pc and check logs for some possible hints with ksystemlog app
Double click to play a video on my pc makes the following logs:
22. 5. 12. 오전 5:25 plasmashell kf.kio.core: The recently-used.xbel is not an XBEL file, overwriting.

Playing a video on Chrome does not make any message in the terminal.
And I found an interesting fact that pulseaudio -k temporarily solves the problem but only for currently focusing window or Chrome tab.
nothing in logs… also noticed, what kind of a kernel are you running, latest in manjaro stable is 5.17.1-3 …
I use 5.17.6-2-MANJARO (64-bit)
yes i can see that, but are you on stable branch? did you downloaded the kernel from system settings/ kernels … you could try switching to 5.15 LTS kernel… also you could install pipewire by installing manjaro-pipewire package… if you get any pulse dependencies, uninstall them first, install pipewire, reboot and check audio
Yes I downloaded kernel from System Settings and am on unstable branch. I’ll try pipewire
manjaro-pipewire works perfectly! Thank you for your advice.
Update solution
sudo pacman -R manjaro-pulse
sudo pacman -R pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-ctl pulseaudio-zeroconf
sudo pacman -R plasma-pa
sudo pacman -R pulseaudio
sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire
sudo pacman -S plasma-pa
you can try this to completely get rid of pulseaudio
