Hello! Thank you for viewing! I am not sure where I should post this, so I will start here.
It appears that on Wayland, Pipewire crashes sometimes when I play a video. I have already filed a bug report, which states that I sometimes have to play a video twice on YouTube before it plays the audio correctly. Journalctl mentions powerdevil. Perhaps a KDE dev can take a look at the error that I have attached to get an idea of what the error is and we can help resolve this problem?
The problem is simple. Clicking on videos (YouTube and Instagram) sometimes crashes the audio system (Pipewire) and makes it restart.
