Yeah, it was it. Why was it starting by default though? I don't recall fiddlying with pipewire at all...

[Solved] [Void Linux] Audio refuses to work on a new user (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I created a new user on this system but anything with sound plain doesn't work - the main user of the system has no issue though.

I already added the new user to the audio group, pulseaudio and pipewire are started by xfce during login too.

For example, when trying to open an mp3 file with mpv I get this:

[ao/pulse] The stream is suspended. Bailing out.

[ao] Failed to initialize audio driver 'pulse'

Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

Audio: no audio

So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

there is far less malware on Linux

That's a common misconception. Linux is the most popular OS for servers. There are a lot of malware for Linux, probably even more than for Windows.
