[SOLVED] 32-bit Source games no Sound

Does anyone have an idea why 32-bit Source games suddenly stopped playing sounds on machine?

Wanted to play L4D2 again but no sound output at all.
It appears inside pavucontrol, but no (sound) activity is shown at all.

I've also tested other Source games I had installed, only CS:S and TF2 had sounds and these are the ones with a 64-bit executable.
HL2, Portal (2), L4D2 all had no sound. And I remember them all working fine.

I'm using pipewire with wireplumber, lib32 packages are also installed.
Could there be any package changes I didn't notice?

Re: [SOLVED] 32-bit Source games no Sound

Any error messages in the log? is it actually "no sound" or are they just muted/playing to the wrong device? 

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

it's muted... 

pactl set-sink-input-mute 1644  off

pavucontrols GUI should reflect that with a pressed "mute button" if that's not reflected on your side might want to check your GTK theme/icon set.

You're gotta be kidding me. Normally when a sink is muted the volume bar's color is muted and I can't slide it anymore.
But I could slide it normally and the bar was in full color.
Didn't think of using the mute button.

After toggling mute on/off it works again. No idea what happened there.
But now pavucontrol reflecting the state correctly, should have taken a screenshot beforehand.
I would reproduce it, if I would know hat it got in that state beforehand.

Thanks for noticing the 

mute: yes

During skimming I didn't noticed it myself.

Feel so stupid now.
