This is pretty much identical to this post, # Playback and video not working, But the posted solution doesn’t work; I already had manjaro-pipewire
installed to begin with. Removing and reinstalling it didn’t do anything either.
Specifically, after restarting my computer, the first application I launch generally is able to play audio ok. The second I open anything else, no audio is output and YouTube reports the “If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device” and Spotify gives back the “Can’t Play this Song Right Now”. Restarting the pipewire-pulse service via systemctl restart --user pipewire-pulse.service
will fix it for a few minutes, but then it fails again.
The one thing I have noticed is that the inxi -Fayz
output has PulseAudio not running:

I don’t have a way to start it that I know of, as the pulseaudio
command isn’t available. I naively attempted to yay -S pulseaudio
, but it’s saying that pipewire-pulse
is in conflict with that.
