In the past weeks I encountered an issue where there was no longer any audio output from PulseEffects on my OpenSuse Tumbleweed installation (Meme related).
After reading countless posts diving into the depths of pulseaudio and its complicated workings, this blog post finally describes how I “fixed” it (it really was just a wrong setting).

In my case this happend because the audio output named “PulseEffects(app)” was muted - I have no idea how that happened :D

To fix this disappointing silence, simply open “PulseAudio Volume Control” using the KDE start menu (or start it in any other way you see fit). Next, find the correct output in the “Output Devices” section and unmute it.
En voilà, the spectrum shows and the music sounds!
Cheers,
