Just within the last couple of days I’ve discovered I can no longer play Youtube videos in Manjaro Unstable. It just displays the buffering icon and the message ‘If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device’. It does this on all browsers (Firefox, Chromium, Opera, Vivaldi) and all desktops (Plasma, Mate) I’ve tried. It plays videos from reddit without issue and loads all my usual sites without problem. I have EndeavourOS and Opensuse on the the same machine and they play without issue. I’ve updated to the latest kernel but it hasn’t made any difference.
Does anyone know what could be causing it?

Might be connected with wireplumber
and pipewire-media-session
and recent temporary switching between the two. Can you check which one you have installed.
Also do you use pipewire or pulseaudio:
pactl info | grep "Server Name"
You might need to either:
remove wireplumber
and reinstall pipewire-media-session
or switch from pulseaudio to pipewire
(it might also be something unrelated)
Thanks very much for the reply. Whenever I try to remove wireplumber it gives me the following error:
could not satisfy dependencies:
removing wireplumber breaks dependency ‘wireplumber’ required by pipewire-alsa
If I then try and remove pipewire-alsa it gives me the following error:
could not satisfy dependencies:
removing pipewire-alsa breaks dependency ‘pulseaudio-alsa’ required by gnome-settings-daemon
Actually, just install pipewire-media-session
- it will ask you to remove wireplumber
That just gives me the same error:
pamac install pipewire-media-session

Choose optional dependencies for pipewire-media-session:

Ok, I guess you are on unstable (or maybe testing) branch. I see dependencies are changed again.
Post the output of command from post #3 .
Announcement: [Unstable Update] 2022-07-02 - Kernels, Pipewire 0.3.53, Haskell, Gnome 42.3
It still won’t let me remove pipewire-alsa, even after a reboot:
pamac remove pipewire-alsa

Error: Failed to prepare transaction:

Not anymore. Arch is again trying to replace pipewire-media-session
with wireplumber
.
manjbob:
Manjaro Unstable
manjbob:
remove pipewire-alsa
No, why are you trying to do that?
Before we go any further, please…
…because we don’t even know if you’re using PipeWire or PulseAudio as default.
If you are using PipeWire as default, make sure pipewire
, pipewire-pulse
and wireplumber
user services are all enabled and running.
pactl info | grep “Server Name”
Server Name: pulseaudio
Well, you can then install pulseaudio-alsa
and then remove pipewire-alsa
.
(@Yochanan : Looking at packages, I’m a bit confused tbh - should pulseaudio-alsa
conflict with pipewire-alsa
since latter provides the former.)
OK, I’ve done that and rebooted, but Youtube is still the same
And also removed wireplumber
and reinstalled pipewire-media-session
?
When I try to remove wireplumber it gives me the following error:
pamac remove wireplumber
Preparing…
Checking dependencies…
Error: Failed to prepare transaction:
could not satisfy dependencies:
removing wireplumber breaks dependency ‘pipewire-session-manager’ required by gst-plugin-pipewire
Please edit your posts and use preformatted text for command outputs (</> ). This is annoying to read.
And yeah, now there will be three hundred dependencies to check, bah.
As I said before, install pipewire-media-session
- it should do the removing, hopefully of everything.

Sorry, I’m just pasting direct from konsole.
Yes, that’s fixed it! Thanks a lot for your help. We got there in the end
Full stop. PipeWire has nothing to do with anything here. You’re using PulseAudio.
I use PulseAudio on my main development laptop and these are the only PipeWire related packages I have installed due to other packages requiring them:
❯ pacman -Qs pipewire
local/gst-plugin-pipewire 1:0.3.53-2
Multimedia graph framework - pipewire plugin
local/lib32-pipewire 1:0.3.53-2
Low-latency audio/video router and processor - 32-bit client library
local/pipewire 1:0.3.53-2
Low-latency audio/video router and processor
local/pipewire-media-session 1:0.4.1-2
Example session manager for PipeWire
Your sound works. You’re only having issues with YouTube.
You can still paste directly from console, just mark it and press that button next time.
As you can see, linux doesn’t make sense… sometimes.
This is pretty much the same problem people were having last time, when wireplumber
was introduced. Only this time there will be additional steps. Easiest to just switch to PipeWire to be honest.
EDIT : You are right though, I don’t know why OP needed pipewire-alsa
in the first place.
