[SOLVED] Chromium can't play the audio successfully.

kehongying · 2020-08-22 17:15:15

After I upgrade my package a few days ago, my chromium can't play the music suddenly. But my speaker is working well since there is sound when I increase or decrease my volume.
Then I try to play with another browser (chrome). It can play well.

Here are some output with journal -xe | grep chromium

Aug 23 01:08:15 KeHongYing org_kde_powerdevil[1185]: powerdevil: Enforcing inhibition from ":1.85" "/usr/lib/chromium/chromium" with cookie 11 and reason "Playing audio"

I'm wondering whether my powerdevil broken.
In https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=258269, it mentions that the pipewire3.8 might not work well. But it still can't work despite I downgrade the package.

Does anyone have the same problem?

These messages are normal and unproblematic and I cannot confirm any issue here.

What do you get for

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

during this.

Your chromium is muted... double check your volume mixer. Use pavucontrol in doubt.

kehongying · 2020-08-26 15:22:17

Thanks, the problem has been solved. But I don't know what I do...

Maybe I touch something unintentionally. It works well after I adjust the volume in system settings.

That's likely given the evidence so far, please mark as [SOLVED] by editing the title in the first post.
