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

    Is the pipewire service enabled for that user? It’s a systemd user service
