No longer works on elementaryos 5

After the last system updates the pulseeffect does not work anymore. I can not hear any more sound with the pulseeffect open. When the presseffect is open the elementaryos sound setting does not open as well.

I need more information. Kill the current instance pulseeffects -q and restart it in debug mode G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=pulseeffects pulseeffects. This should help us understand what is happening.

I think something is quite wrong. I do not find the pulseeffects command on the command line. I get "pulseeffects: command not found". I was normally using the pulseeffect. I can not remember how I had installed it before the problem happened. Today, after this problem I uninstalled using "apt purge pulseffects" and reinstalled through the flatpack. And now the app opens and closes right after. Crazy thing. I'm probably doing something wrong. Any idea?

When using flatpak you can get the logs running G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=pulseeffects flatpak run com.github.wwmm.pulseeffects

Oh nice, thanks! The result of G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=pulseeffects flatpak run com.github.wwmm.pulseeffects:

Nothing unusual. Are you sure nothing else is printed in the terminal when the crash happens?

Yes, I am sure. This is the log when I was playing a video from youtube in brave browse. I used the command "G_MESSAGES_DEBUG = pulseeffects flatpak run com.github.wwmm.pulseeffects" and the pulseeffects opened and closed right after. But the process of pulseeffects continued and I had to kill it to sound back to normal. I dont know if anything changes in the log:

I was able to check what was going on with the eOS audio config. When I open the PE it disables all available sound outputs and then closes the audio config window. When I close the PE, everything goes back to normal. pe log.txt Can it be any configuration?

It could be a configuration. Try to create another user account and test what happens there. It could also be some problem in one of the packages that was updated in your system. At least in Arch Linux everything is fine.

What I know for sure is that there is no code in PE that would try to enable/disable sound outputs. Something else is making them disappear.

Well...I tried. I couldnt create another user account in my system, I dont know why. So, I am using linux mint now and the PE is working fine. The only excepetion is when I select a preset from comunity preset PE closes on Linux mint.

A few of the community presets were not ported to the new format. This is probably the reason why they are crashing
