1 year ago If I play youtube, then VLC/MPV, then it works -> but if I pause youtube, wait for it to go idle and then pause/unpause VLC/MPV it breaks again.
That is really strange. In this situation PipeWire is probably switching to a different latency. But this should not cause a big difference in volume level.
Follow step number 3 in this link https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/wiki/Reporting-Bugs#basic-logs to get some logs while trying to use VLC and/or MPV. Maybe something useful will be shown But it seems more likely a problem with WirePlumber or PipeWire. The interaction of the audio players with EasyEffects happens through a virtual sink that is just an ordinary PipeWire's null-sink. We do not do special handling for audio players. For EasyEffects they are all just a playback stream.

Describe the bug
Easy effects works fine with chrome. I experienced some bugs with old games such as Unreal tournament 99, but I simply excluded those and avoided issues. But since using Easy Effects I cannot use VLC or SM Player with MPV at all!
For some reason audio from VLC/MPV is very very quiet and tinny. When I start playing VLC/MPV audio and then play chrome (youtube) audio, even the chrome audio becomes quiet and tinny. When I play chrome audio (youtube) and then start VLC/MPV both sound alright!
If I play youtube, then VLC/MPV, then it works -> but if I pause youtube, wait for it to go idle and then pause/unpause VLC/MPV it breaks again.
When audio is broken and I go to ubuntu settings and switch the output device from speakers to easy effects sink and then back to speakers the issue resolves until I play/pause again.
Thinks I have tried: Global bypass, Exluding VLC/MPV, Switching audio outputs in VLC/MPV, restarting computer.
Expected Behavior
Audio goes brrr even in VLC/MPV
