Music files not playing

Hi, welcome ^^
Are you using JamesDSP, and do you have it set to automatically start with each login?
Pipewire was updated recently which should address this issue if you are using JamesDSP or EasyEffects. Your garuda-inxi says your last full system update was on the 26th of October, so if you are using JDSP you should give an update a try. Make sure to backup things first though.

Updating in Garuda is really easy - just pop open the terminal and type update :slight_smile:. Once the update is done, restart JDSP, and if it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in.

Since you haven't updated in a while though, maybe it'd be a good idea to refresh your mirrorlists first with the reflector-simple GUI tool, or do the bulletproof method mentioned in 'The first thing to try' section here.

Ok last edit lolol... I just noticed your inxi also states your system is partially upgraded. Since Arch is a rolling release distro and Garuda is based on Arch, it isn't recommended to do partial upgrades due to dependency issues. More on that here: System maintenance - ArchWiki
