Audio suddenly stopped working with internal speakers

General system Newbie

This happened when i was just watching youtube. Audio on windows(i have dual boot) and external speakers works fine. Some time after this audio randomly appeared for ~2 seconds and then faded out.

Output of inxi -Aaz

Same here, I wonder what happened. No video will load and my blue tooth head phones aren’t appearing under sound - output devices

Welcome to the community @sharkow :enos_flag:

If this began after an update, have you tried booting with the LTS kernel and confirmed if it is, or isn’t an issue there?

That sounds like it might be an unrelated issue @garyghost .

@sharkow 's is with respect to internal speakers, but audio to external speakers works fine.

Yours is with respect to Bluetooth headphones and video playback.

Also, check if audio works with any app that is not a browser, I once muted the browser somehow, which left me scratching my head for a while!

About an hour ago, I updated, and these audio-related packages were included…

upgraded libpipewire (1:1.4.10-1 -> 1:1.4.10-2)
upgraded pipewire (1:1.4.10-1 -> 1:1.4.10-2)
upgraded pipewire-audio (1:1.4.10-1 -> 1:1.4.10-2)
upgraded gst-plugin-pipewire (1:1.4.10-1 -> 1:1.4.10-2)
upgraded pipewire-jack (1:1.4.10-1 -> 1:1.4.10-2)
upgraded pipewire-pulse (1:1.4.10-1 -> 1:1.4.10-2)

Try running an update and reboot.
