I'm using strawberry with debian stable and an external USB audio device. So now when Firefox is running (no video turned on), I get this error message in strawberry:</p>
<pre><code>../ext/alsa/gstalsasink.c(869): gst_alsasink_open (): /GstBin:audiobin/GstAlsaSink:pipeline-5-alsasink: Device 'hw:1,0' is busy
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">In the backend settings under "device" it is set to the usb audio device (not automatically select) and under "output" it is set to "Output to a sound card via ALSA" (in order to have the best possible audio quality)</p>
<p dir="auto">So only if I close firefox, strawberry is working. but that is not a good solution...<br />
Does anybody of you know a solution?</p>

<p dir="auto">Now audio seems to work simultaniously in firefox and strawberry.</p>
<p dir="auto">But pulse is active. Is that a problem for sound quality despite the fact that I have chosen "Output.... ALSA" in Strawberry?</p>

<p dir="auto">Do you know if it's the same syntax for pipewire?</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
systemctl --user mask pipewire.socket
systemctl --user stop pipewire.service
</code></pre>

<a href="https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1034" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1034</a></p>
<p dir="auto">So pulse audio is blocking palyback. My solution:</p>
<p dir="auto">I created two Desktop-Shortcuts with two scritps behind. Script one <a href="http://pulse-stop.sh" rel="nofollow ugc">pulse-stop.sh</a>:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service


</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">And <a href="http://pulse-start.sh" rel="nofollow ugc">pulse-start.sh</a>:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service

</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">So when I want to play audio in Strawberry, I click the stop-pulse-button and when I'm finished, I press the start-pulse-button. Not perfect but works</p>
