Videos stopping after 1s after suspend

D_user · 2025-05-04 03:39:33

Hi,

I've been using Arch for 5 years or more now and it's the first time I experienced that.

My system is up to date, using i3 as my wm, have an amd CPU and an Nvidia GPU.

Everything works fine after a reboot but after putting my system to sleep via `systemctl suspend` videos stop after a second, on youtube or odyssey (tried with different browsers) videos play for a second then it starts buffering, for local videos they also play for a second then "lag" and stop.

My first reflex was to try different nvidia drivers versions but it didn't resolve the issue. I tried the 575.51.02 the 570.123.07 from nvidia-all, the current 570.144 from the official repos, being the vanilla, dkms or open ones, always the same problem.

I started using tlp not so along so I disable it but nothing either.

If someone has an idea on how to solve the problem please share it.

Thanks in advance.

Edit : Solved -- It was an audio related problem, see my last response.

Please post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

No, it actually works with that option, although the whole system becomes really slow.

Thanks for your help.

Edit : Switching from my audio interface (to which my headphones are plugged) to my laptop's speakers fixes the problem on both browsers and locally from mpv, switching back to the audio interface makes the video stop again.

I figured out the problem, I have three USB 3 ports on the back of my laptop and one of those in an "always on" USB port, when the audio interface is plugged in to it it causes the problem after waking up from sleep and I have to switch to my speakers or unplug/replug it for things to work again, I just plugged it to one of the "normal" USB ports and everything is working as expected again.
Thanks for guiding me into the right direction by suggesting it was an audio problem.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
