[Solved] No audio from Brave (with output as USB device)

Issues with getting audio output from Brave. Brave was installed by

yay -S brave-bin

The brave-bin repo was chosen because the regular brave one was huge and took many hours to build, only to fail (several times).
Per a previous post that was similar, here is my output from the commands

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND

Audio plays back fine through other browsers - but something seems to be missing for Brave to be output to my USB audio.

Re: [Solved] No audio from Brave (with output as USB device)

Try a prebuilt package like one from this repo
https://lonewolf.pedrohlc.com/chaotic-aur/
They build directly from the AUR and are nice guys easily contacted through Telegram or Github.

You can also try to enable pipewire. Go to brave://flags and search pipewire → Enable → Relaunch

Re: [Solved] No audio from Brave (with output as USB device)

Brave is playing back to the internal audio card instead of the USB card.

pacmd move-sink-input 282 alsa_output.usb-Cambridge_Audio_Cambridge_Audio_USB_Audio_2.0_0000-00.analog-stereo

double check that 282 it will change with every open audio stream. I suggest you install and use pavucontrol to have a GUI that visualises these relations
