[SOLVED] VLC no audio, not shown by pavucontrol

Hello,

I'm getting no audio from vlc player 8-/

pavucontrol does not show vlc on the Playback tab.

If I start mplayer, it pops up on the playback tab and audio works.

This is an Alder Lake based lenovo laptop. sof-firmware 2.2.4-1 is installed.

A few outputs I've seen requested for audio troubles: 

NOTE: VLC was launched and playing when these outputs were generated.

NOTE: another interesting thing is that 'pactl list cards' shows HDMI1 as available, and connected to a SAMSUNG TV, whereas 'xrandr' says DP-3 as the connected output.

Re: [SOLVED] VLC no audio, not shown by pavucontrol

Not sure what happened, restarted VLC and now there is audio 8-/

I had restarted repeatedly, but for some reason, now it is working...

Re: [SOLVED] VLC no audio, not shown by pavucontrol

Check for vlc zombie processes via htop. I had the same problem a few months ago and killing the zombie processes did the trick for me.

Thanks konfusius!

This issue has popped up intermittently a couple of times now. Next time I'll check for the zombies!
