[Bug 2122071] Re: MPV with PipeWire audio output muted on Ubuntu 25.04, works with PulseAudio or ALSA.

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and contributing to
Ubuntu. I tried to reproduce your problem on my Ubuntu 25.04 laptop with
"mpv *.flac" but that had no problems with audio playback.

Can you provide the logs with the buffer issues? Can you check if the
other programs (like Brave) use pipewire?

Title:
  MPV with PipeWire audio output muted on Ubuntu 25.04, works with
  PulseAudio or ALSA.

Status in pipewire package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 25.04, MPV using PipeWire audio output (ao=pipewire)
  produces no sound, despite wpctl status showing unmuted sink (ID 35,
  Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller Analogue Stereo, vol: 1.00).
  PulseAudio (-ao pulse) and ALSA (-ao alsa) work fine. Added
  ao=pipewire and audio-channels=2 to ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf,
  reinstalled pipewire, pipewire-pulse, wireplumber, and tested --audio-
  device=pipewire/alsa_output.pci-0000_09_00.4.analog-stereo with no
  success. PipeWire logs show xrun errors, suggesting buffer issues.
  Adding audio-buffer=0.1 to mpv.conf didn't help. Using -ao pulse as
  workaround.

  Sound is enabled in Brave or Spotify - which I assume they are just
  using pulse or alsa
