Hi again the issue guy here having an issue

this time is the audio, I just installed qubes and I can’t seem to play any youtube videos or anything sound related to work and I don’t know what I can share so I can make myself understood.

This time the guy who helps me wins a virtual hug. Cheers from my standalone debian environment:

Hey there. I fixed it. All by myself mommy.

I’m lying, of course, god bless chat GPT.

so what was going on is that, for some reason, the PulseAudio service was working, but:

"systemctl --user status pulseaudio.service "

displayed a q overrun:

[lofiwk@dom0 ~]$ systemctl --user status pulseaudio.service

And there it is! I just restarted the thing back on with:


systemctl --user restart pulseaudio.service

And I was god back again. Guess I’m hugging myself tonight.
