[SOLVED] Spotify app does not output sound anymore (using pipewire)

After a fairly recent system update, Spotify app does not output sound.

I have tried ncspot as well, but no sound either.

However, I tried Spot (Gtk/Rust native Spotify client for the Gnome desktop.) and that one does play sound.

I have no issues with sound in any other application that I'm aware of.

$ pacman -Qs

local/libpipewire 1:0.3.70-2
    Low-latency audio/video router and processor - client library
local/libwireplumber 0.4.14-1
    Session / policy manager implementation for PipeWire - client library
local/pipewire 1:0.3.70-2
    Low-latency audio/video router and processor
local/pipewire-audio 1:0.3.70-2

local/pipewire-jack 1:0.3.70-2
    Low-latency audio/video router and processor - JACK support
local/pipewire-pulse 1:0.3.70-2
    Low-latency audio/video router and processor - PulseAudio replacement
local/wireplumber 0.4.14-1
    Session / policy manager implementation for PipeWire

How could I debug this? Thanks in advance

Re: [SOLVED] Spotify app does not output sound anymore (using pipewire)

During reproduction post 

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

Spotify is an electron/chromium browser it should just work via standard pulse API integration.

Re: [SOLVED] Spotify app does not output sound anymore (using pipewire)

Spotify is muted and playing to the HDMI device.

Check pavucontrol or so or 

pactl set-sink-input-mute 71 off #the 71 here will change check the sink input index of spotify from the second command, if that didn't help already try...
pactl move-sink-input 71 alsa_output.pci-0000_04_00.6.analog-stereo

Re: [SOLVED] Spotify app does not output sound anymore (using pipewire)

This definitely worked smile

HDMI output is correct since I do have an external monitor with speakers.

Thank you very much V1del, I will mark this as solved.

Just one last thing, why did this get muted in the first place? I mean, I surely didn't do this manually... hmm

Re: [SOLVED] Spotify app does not output sound anymore (using pipewire)

In the majority of cases you're probably not as sure as you think you are, there are some system triggered special cases like the stream getting muted due to role ducking (e.g. voice calls lowering playback audio) but that mostly affected pulseaudio with a certain module loaded
