In Game and Discord randomly no Audio
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/13466519
> When I'm in-game (using steam and proton-ge or just proton) and have Discord open, I sometimes (or better often, just not predictable), have no sound. I can't hear the system-sound anymore (including discord) but my microphone works fine, meaning others in a discord call for example can still hear me. When I have Spotify open and music running the issue appears less often. But when it appears Spotify seems to not being able to play a song. There is a small white popup with roughly the text "current song not playable". The same in YouTube, just that the video is not loading (even when it has buffered). When I close my game and Discord the sound is back and Spotify/YouTube is able to play the current song/video again. Also, when I change the Audio Output from my Headset to my music speakers, then the sound is available again (when changing back to the headphones it is stuck again). > > The Headphones mentioned are Sennhaiser GSP 960 and the music speakers are the Logi MX Sound. I am currently running stable NixOS, but the issue also appeared on an Arch Linux install. > > Did anyone of you experience the same issue as me and found a fix for that, or know how I can debug the problem or can help debug the issue?
