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

 

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

I figured my comment was more dismissive than helpful so I'll elaborate a bit. I was following the website a year or so ago and noticed they were constantly updating their articles so I subscribed to their RSS feed.

Then I saw a lot of conspiralogical weirdness, enough to quickly retaliate and unsubscribe.

They also have an article about forum software where they praised some imageboards while dismissing raddle because it's leftist.

There's another website about web browser privacy called privacy watchdog or something, it's partially based on the DD's articles but with no conspiralogical BS in it (unless they're added it recently).

The author of the article is a COVID denier if I remember correctly.

Experience doesn’t matter because if you’re inexperienced you have to go outside your Comfort zone, if you’re experienced you got there because you like going outside your comfort zone and you will constantly stay in that state.

I was experimenting a lot during my early Linux months but then I found what works for me and settled with it. I don't leave my comfort zone much anymore.

there is far less malware on Linux

That's a common misconception. Linux is the most popular OS for servers. There are a lot of malware for Linux, probably even more than for Windows.
