Just stopped working

[ZerkerEOD]

EasyEffects Version

6.2.8

What package are you using?

Flatpak (Flathub)

Distribution

Kali

Describe the bug

It just stopped working, when I have easyeffects enabled you can see my graph looks correct and should be working.

Even if I manually connect easyeffects sink output straight to the Analog Stereo, I get no sound.

But if I click the enable button on a stream inside easyeffects to disable it for that stream, I get sound and the graph looks like this.

Expected Behavior

Sound working.

soe: output_level: new PipeWire blocksize: 1024

If we know the current blocksize (latency) then our pipeline is processing audio buffers. Usually when this happens and there is no audio the problem is that something muted our virtual sinks. Take a look at #1760.

So following that Pavucontrol did not help me and didn't show it muted, but I looked into the system settings and found out that it was in fact muted. Thanks for this.

[wwmm]

Ok. Thanks for the feedback @ZerkerEOD

@Digitalone1 and @vchernin. In one of my last commits I disabled our virtual devices volume and mute controls. Let's see if this kind of issue stops happening. I know some users like to change our virtual devices volume but this random muting problem is happening too often for this to be worth it. It is not clear at all why our devices are being muted without the users consent.

[Digitalone1]

No problem, I never had the need to change the volume of the virtual sink.

[Digitalone1]

@wwmm Shouldn't we remove also the option to restore the volume of virtual devices?

[wwmm]

Shouldn't we remove also the option to restore the volume of virtual devices?

Yes. Specially because they were not avoiding our sinks to stay muted. Now that I think about it it is really weird resetting the mute state on our side was not working. Maybe PipeWire has some kind of bug affecting this.

I will remove this restoration code now. I started to think about multiple filters instances and forgot to do it.

[wwmm]

@vchernin the patch file 0001-Background-portal-support-for-autostart-and-shutdown will have to be updated now that the volume restoration code has been removed.
