Hello everyone,
I require help with an issue while playing YouTube videos.
I'm running a Wayland session using Hyprland as my WM
On Brave Browser (binary from AUR), there's no audio playback
Additional information -
Using Pipewire + Wireplumber (along with it's other plugins)
All the configurations are at their default values, I've not made any changes

└─ Default Configured Node Names:Note, I am testing this using a basic pair of earphones connected to my laptop's 3.5mm jack
mpv can play the video flawlessly, but Brave Browser cannot
Also, if I use the speaker-test utility and run
speaker-test -c 2The test audio plays perfectly through both the left and right sides of the earphone
Additionally, all services for pipewire and wireplumber are running normally
$ systemctl --user list-units --no-pager | grep -iE 'wire|pulse|alsa|pipe'
pipewire-pulse.service loaded active running PipeWire PulseAudio
pipewire.service loaded active running PipeWire Multimedia Service
wireplumber.service loaded active running Multimedia Service Session Manager
pipewire-pulse.socket loaded active running PipeWire PulseAudio
pipewire.socket loaded active running PipeWire Multimedia System SocketLastly, all packages on my system are up-to-date

This probably won't help you but just in case. Occasionally I have this problem come up with firefox and it's always because the app itself is muted. I use kde and just use the audio icon in the system tray to unmute muted apps.

Nope mate,
Thank you for your suggestion, but I also checked this already. The browser itself is unmuted.
Can you give me any other suggestions/ideas?

Sorry. I suspect pulseaudio is involved in this but you need somebody that knows more than me.
