Hi

If the volume is low on the application side it might just take some time for the auto sense to kick in. How long have you tried leaving it running with audio playing?

If still nothing happens after a minute or so give me the output of the following commands:

pacmd list-sinks

pacmd list-sources

pacmd list-clients

With cava running.

I'm having the same issue and it doesn't fix even after waiting for a few mins, also I didn't had the issue back when i was on ubuntu, but it's not working after I've switched to Arco (arch based). Also cava came pre-installed in arco Here are the outputs with cava running:

pacmd list-sinks

1 sink(s) available.

pacmd list-sources

2 source(s) available.

pacmd list-clients

Ok fixed it the cava package from pacman is broken, I installed from source and now it's working :)

BlueDev5 commented 2 years ago

ok, now I realise I'm stupid, coz my whole config is commented and what actually fixed was the restart (as qtile created a virtual speaker because I changed something in the config and restart fixed that extra device), and I also realised that cava was using the 1st registered device which was incorrect but obviously the intended behaviour.
