I’m an absolute beginner to Linux, so I’m sorry if I’m doing something really stupid here. I’ve been at this for hours and I’ve looked everywhere to no avail.
In case it matters, I’m on Hyprland.
I started with the stock standard audio config, and have been tweaking it over and over trying to get it to work. Videos occasionally stop working on Firefox (they either endlessly load or crash Firefox outright) and I believe it has something to do with the changes I’ve made. Here is the audio config and the relevant packages (Sorry, I haven’t figured screenshots on Hyprland out yet):
At the start of each session, wpctl status tells me my only input/output is the dummy output, and then switches to saying it couldn’t connect to Pipewire after a little while. pwvucontrol doesn’t work either, it can’t connect to the Pipewire server.
Also relevant:
I tried systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse and it didn’t do anything. pgrep pipewire gives me 1194 2116.
