Re: [SOLVED]Cant play videos on browser

Install libva-utils and run vainfo again.

sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset

Do you have iGPU? And if you do what GPU is your monitor connected to?

Re: [SOLVED]Cant play videos on browser

guns @ roses:~ % vainfo
Trying display: wayland
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
guns @ roses:~ % sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset
Y
guns @ roses:~ % 

Do you mean integrated GPU ? No its desktop. And for now I have one monitor only.

EDIT: I realize this: when i mute the tab from browser, the video started to play.

Re: [SOLVED]Cant play videos on browser

Re: [SOLVED]Cant play videos on browser

Just do

sudo pacman -R pulseaudio
sudo pacman -S pipewire-pulse

Other packages depend not on pulseaudio but libpulse which in turn will use pipewire-pulse instead of pulseaudio as a backend

And no, pulseaudio is not better. It's older and eventually will be deprecated

Then install pipewire-pulse and choose 'Y' when asked to remove pulseaudio
