I played some stuff in mpv and restarted qutebrowser, but no dice. Same when I pkill'd pulseaudio, opened something in mpv, then tried qutebrowser again. I had qutebrowser open during part of this, so I tried again, closing qutebrowser, killing pulseaudio, opening mpv, then finally launching qutebrowser again. I don't get any different results, so perhaps my issue is not quite the same. I agree that it's probably something to do with spawning pulseaudio processes since nothing even shows up for it.

Will it attempt to connect to ALSA? I don't know how to check if it attempts to connect to ALSA. I couldn't find anything on the Internet about checking this either, but that might be because I don't know anything about sound systems to start with. If anyone could provide some pointers I can try to look into this. Sergiu

Pulseaudio should be started automatically (via dbus?) by applications with pulseaudio support. Perhaps qutebrowser doesn’t do the right thing here. Will it attempt to connect to ALSA? -- Ricardo

Hi, I've been occasionally experiencing the same problem. While I don't know the permanent fix for this, I found that if I open pavucontrol and also play a bit of music with mpv and _only after_ this ritual open qutebrowser, I don't have problems with missing sound anymore. I suspect that it's got something to do with spawning some kind of processes for pulseaudio. Cheers, Sergiu

The `qutebrowser' executable is wrapped indeed. Not sure what to do with it. Can anyone else reproduce? -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

qutebrowser has no sound
Hello, I've been using qutebrowser for a few days, and for some reason I have no sound. I don't see an entry for it in pavucontrol or pulsemixer at all. Videos play fine, mostly, but there's no audio. I watch most things in mpv, but for some sites it's really preferable to watch in the browser, so hopefully I can find a solution. I have yet to run into another program with broken audio. guix (GNU Guix) 6c36daaac74b15cceae41caba0b291ae6d62ae17 qutebrowser v1.13.1
