[SOLVED] Youtube Video not working, suspect pipewire/wireplumber issue

#EDIT:
After finding another post I realized pipewire wasn't enabled (but running?) and now it seems to work.

I am new, hello.

Youtube doesn't play video (spinning circle) in firefox, brave (or in mpv w/yt-dl).
I have been searching for the culprit and I am stuck.

I have had some issues with rustdesk packages and pipewire/pulseaudio incompatibilities.
I found a "stable" rustdesk-bin and have installed pipewire-pulse.

Checked for updates:

  sudo pacman -Syyu

I checked my sound devices and it is odd that wireplumber is on two sound devices, but I do not know if this is the issue.

  sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

I have also tried checking the status but since I am still learning a lot I cannot find anything glaring.

I hope this is a good start and someone might know where I should look thanks!
