[Solved] [Void Linux] Audio refuses to work on a new user
[Solved] [Void Linux] Audio refuses to work on a new user
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
Are you sure you want
pipewire
andpulseaudio
installed and trying to run?Maybe replace
pulseaudio
withpipewire-pulse
, unless I'm missing something from your post.8 0 ReplyYeah, it was it. Why was it starting by default though? I don't recall fiddlying with pipewire at all...

You don't need
pulseaudio
andpipewire
at the same time becausepipewire
provides pulseaudio-compatible server (pipewire-pulse). Also,pipewire
usually doesn't requireaudio
group. Did you follow the official docs or other online guide?4 0 Reply
