The issue is very similar to that described here.
This problem goes away once EasyEffects is started.

That sounds like a problem in PipeWire's media session manager. EasyEffects does not make any kind of audio routing that would stay alive once it is killed.
Try to run pw-dot when EasyEffects is not running. The output file can be opened with xdot and will show to which devices your audio players are linked to.
Hi both, I'm using wireplumber. I've attached the dot file. I'm trying to watch a YouTube video on Firefox and the dot file reflects that, but I'm not sure how to interpret the flowchart. pw.dot.zip .
And this file is what the chart looks like after I've turned on EasyEffects - everything else the same, the video just resumes perfectly. You can see the hierarchy is a lot deeper pw.dot2.zip .
but I'm not sure how to interpret the flowchart.
It shows that Firefox's stream is linked to your sound card device. As it should be once EasyEffects is closed. Whatever it is the source of this problem it is on PipeWire's side.
Considering this does not seem to be happening to other people you may have some kind of corrupted configuration. Try to delete ~/.local/state/pipewire/ and ~/.local/state/wireplumber/ . Reboot the computer after that.
If you can't resolve, try to install pipewire-media-session and remove wireplumber, then reboot the system. The last version of wireplumber on Arch caused some issues lately, maybe it's the same for your system on Manjaro.
