I have installed a fresh version of arch, everything up to date, and I am dual booting with windows 11 through GRUB. I am using pipewire, my wm is dwm, terminal is st. When I open a youtube video (in firefox), no sound plays at all. I have tested this multiple times with different browsers and tested my audio in multiple ways, sometimes with pulseaudio instead, and nothing seems to work.

I finally got it to work somehow, all I did was install realtime-privileges

#

And I tried to add myself to the “audio” group but for some reason it showed the new group i’d added myself into as just my username, for example, when I typed groups the output was

wheel storage power

After typing sudo usermod -aG audio cyberborean

And then groups

The output was

wheel storage power cyberborean
