Audio stopped; Youtube videos stuck at load screen

No audio, Youtube videos wont run.  I had this issue when I first installed arch and never definitively resolved it.  It all just worked one day, so I assume it was fixed during a daily pacman update.  Well, I'm afflicted again.

I outputed a journalctl here: http://0x0.st/Xy0E.txt

I'm running a Dell Inspiron 5620, on Firefox, Linux 6.10.6-arch1-1; pipewire.

One thing I tried this time though was reinstalling pulseaudio.  I actually got a youtube video to load and output sound after I rebooted, but lost it soon after.  No audio when I load other videos up via VLC.

Don't.

On occasion, deleting ~/.config/wireplumber (the format changed at some point) or (more likely) the state (~/.local/state/wireplumber/) helps.

Re: Audio stopped; Youtube videos stuck at load screen

I have the latest version of pipewire.  Also uninstalled pulseaudio (now no audio again, even for a brief moment).  I have two files in the ~/.local/state/wireplumber directory: should I delete them both?  Rm the entire directory?

Re: Audio stopped; Youtube videos stuck at load screen

Have you installed pipewire-pulse?
Otherwise, yes - just delete the entire directory (then re-login to restart pipewire/wireplumber)

Re: Audio stopped; Youtube videos stuck at load screen

Didn't work sad

My YouTube actually started playing video again between the time of my original post and today (albeit no sound still).  Unfortunately deleting the ~/.local/state/wireplumber directory actually regressed my issue back to YouTube stalling and freezing all my firefox windows and tabs.

Re: Audio stopped; Youtube videos stuck at load screen

I notice also that I have random hangups and freezes while browsing.  I wonder if these errors from my journalctl have anything to do with it:

Probably not - pactl not responding is a huge red flag.
If you create a new user, do you have the same pactl timeout issue there?

um, not sure.  this is the output:

Whyt is XDG_RUNTIME_DIR set to /run/user/1000 for UID 1001 (your test user)?

Re: Audio stopped; Youtube videos stuck at load screen

Check your hyprland config, otherwise 

grep -r XDG /etc/{environment,profile}*

You don't want DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS to be statically set anywhere either.

How do you start hyprland?
Does pactl work from an agetty login (in doubt post the multi-user.target, 2nd link below)

Re: Audio stopped; Youtube videos stuck at load screen

The only dbus stuff from my hyprland config is:

exec-once=dbus-update-activation-environment --all
exec-once=sleep 1 && dbus-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY_XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

hyprland starts from my login manager, i think.  idk about agetty login, but pactl suddenly started working from my main user account again:

~ % pactl list sinks

Youtube, and spotify, will start playing for a little bit now, but ultimately stall out again.  Still no sound on either.  Checked for mute on alsamixer.  Am not muted.

pactl list sink-inputs

gives nothing though.

Re: Audio stopped; Youtube videos stuck at load screen

All of that looks very strange, during "playing a little" what do you get from 

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs

the timing is important here, all of these should fire and capture the output during active playback.

… not what I asked. The problem isn't "dbus stuff" but - likely - hardcoded XDG paths and we need to know where this is coming from.

There is no dbus anything in my hyprland.conf other than what I listed.

Test user gives the same error for pactl list sinks when something is playing.  Youtube stopped, but I checked with spotify in thebackground.

I guess one of us speaks chinese: I don't care about "dbus anything" in your hyprland config. Post it.

And have you meanwhile tried to play sound from the multi-user.target? No hyprland nor any other broken GUI session?

Re: Audio stopped; Youtube videos stuck at load screen

You boot the multiplayer target (2nd link below) and play some music, 

mpv -ao pipewire thunderstruck.mp3
mpv -ao pulse thunderstruck.mp3
mpv -ao alsa thunderstruck.mp3
exec-once=pipewire
exec-once=wireplumber
exec-once=pipewire-pulse
…
exec-once=dbus-update-activation-environment --all
exec-once=sleep 1 && dbus-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
