[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

You don’t need pulseaudio and pipewire at the same time because pipewire provides pulseaudio-compatible server (pipewire-pulse). Also, pipewire usually doesn’t require audio group. Did you follow the official docs or other online guide?

Are you sure you want pipewire and pulseaudio installed and trying to run?

Maybe replace pulseaudio with pipewire-pulse, unless I’m missing something from your post.

enemyofsun OP ,

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