Audio Problems

Hello, i got some problems with my audio. Could somebody help me please?

My Speaker is actually working fine, getting the "pop" Sound (notification) when I change the Volume. But on every program (Chrome, Spotify, etc) i dont get any sounds.

Hi there, welcome to the forum.

I also never had this problem before, all worked fine. I just went 3 minutes away of my laptop and it didnt work

Did it just happen or you've already rebooted?
I'm asking this because I remember issues linked to audio after suspend/resume.
Rather than rebooting, try a:

systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse
systemctl --user daemon-reload

It just happened, then I rebooted because I thought it might fix that.

Should I still try your commands?

No, if the issue persists after reboot that won't help probably...

Actually it worked! Thank you :smiley:

Do you know or have any idea why the sound system "crashed"?

Never say never :slight_smile:

Not really, the first hit of a forum search (in relation to sleep/suspend, that was my idea) was

but I didn’t even have the time to read it. Go for it :wink:
I’d have given a look also here (maybe just the troubleshooting section):
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire
You might start working on the logs, i.e. journal.
Just see if the problem occurs again. It might be a long (but interesting) journey to find the root cause.
