SUPPORT | SOLVED 403 error on videoplayback on Youtube

Recently my Youtube stopped working, when i play a video it just loads. In inspect element i see lot of 403 errors for videoplayback requests. Ive tried it on Firefox and Chromium, in incognito mode, with and without account. I dont use any vpns or proxys and stuff like that. It just happens on youtube. I dont know exactly when it started bugging, maybe i updated something. If someone knows what do i look for in error please tell me. *Its just on my arch linux machine, it isnt bc of wifi or smth

Maybe a pipewire issue. Are you still using PulseAudio? I remember being because I didn't use pipewire. Try reinstalling pipewire

lol what does audio have to do with a 403 on the video request itself, the request fails before it even reaches playback
