[SOLVED] Video playback fails on all browsers

qualia · 2024-09-20 04:36:49

Hello. Recently I have been having an issue where video playback won't start on any browser until I flip a setting in `pavucontrol`.
Specifically, I start the browser, go to the video I want to watch on some website (say YouTube), and then it just buffers. I then start
`pavucontrol`, go to the configurations tab and flip my audio controllers profile from `Play HiFi quality Music (Mic1, Mic2, Speaker)`
to `Play HiFi quality Music (Headphones, Mic1, Mic2)` and then back again. The video instantly starts playing when I switch it back but it
must be TOGGLED and that being the original state doesn't matter. Any help appreciated.

Start by replacing pulseaudio w/ pipewire-pulse
Sometimes a state wireplumber state gets in the way, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … ot_working

Issues persist after switching to pipewire-pulse and removing and restarting wireplumber state.

Can you post an updated journal?
Are the

kernel: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl 0000:00:1f.3: ASoC: error at snd_soc_dai_hw_params on iDisp1 Pin: -22

errors still there?
