Hello,

The latest qutebrowser v3 from this pipewire-only system has no sound. Related messages from the shell process pasted below include CJK characters which debbugs renders as "??", all CJK messages translate as "file or directory not found"

About a year ago, user @iyzsong enabled pipewire support at qutebrowser v2 for me and sound has been good here until today when qutebrowser v3 was installed.  iirc, a flag was enabled in qutebrowser or one of its dependencies.
