Hello,

Well I finally got audio working fine under pipewire. I'm just not sure what
the problem was! I tried several things, changed settings, checked logs and
started trawling through bug reports. It seems a few people gave up with
pipewire, and reverted back to pulseaudio.

So, feeling the same way, I decided to go back to pulseaudio. Bad move! My
laptop then said it had no audio devices! So, I removed the 'pulseaudio'
package, and reinstalled the pipewire packages that had been removed. I also
reinstalled 'pipewire-alsa'. Surprise! Audio now worked :-) With the laptop I
also have a docking station, external monitor with builtin speakers, an
external webcam with mic, USB headphones with mic and some Hyper-X headphones
(excellent by the way) with mic which can be plugged in via USB or the audio
jack. I tested using the system settings, Amarok and (for work) MS Teams and
Zoom. Using all sorts of combinations it all worked fine.

Thanks for your help,

John.

A message relevant to this from a few days ago, might help.

Thanks for that. Your output is the same as mine, except that I had the 'kde-
settings-pulseaudio', 'pipewire0.2-libs' and 'pulseaudio-utils' packages
installed as well. I have now removed them, but that made no difference.

I'll check further in logs to see if there are any errors/warnings, otherwise I
may see if I can revert back to just pulseaudio.



John.

F35 - audio a bit mixed up

2021-11-08 Thread John Horne 
Hello,

I carried out an online upgrade of my laptop a couple of days ago from F34 to
F35. No problems with that, and all seemed to be okay. However, today I noticed
that audio was not working, or partially working for some things (Zoom audio in
particular seemed to fail completely).

I noticed the previous list messages about swapping pulseaudio for pipewire,
but this seemed to make no difference. I have tried changing settings, but no
joy. So could someone who has audio working okay under F35 run some command-
line checks for me please:

1) run: rpm -qa | grep -iE 'pulse|pipe'

2) (as the logged in user) run: ps auxww | grep -iE 'pulse|pipe'
