 |

Hi,
In the middle of upgrading old Gentoo (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1144020-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-0.html)
My sound in Gnome stopped working. When I pushed play in Rhythmbox - it didn't move.
No sound in Firefox + YouTube videos didn't want to start playing.
Thanks to BitWig Studio (DAW for Linux) I know that ALSA is working fine... It is a PulseAudio issue....
| Code: | fuser -v /dev/snd/*
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0: aps 6669 F.... pulseaudio
aps 6884 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/controlC1: aps 6669 F.... pulseaudio
aps 6884 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/controlC3: aps 6669 F.... pulseaudio
aps 6884 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/controlC4: aps 6669 F.... pulseaudio
aps 6884 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/controlC5: aps 6884 F.... wireplumber |
It looks like this wireplumber is blocking my sound - killing this helped... But this is not a solution...
Now the question is why, after all these updates, this issue appeared... and what can I do to soleve this...
Still, after killing wireplumber, I have a very sluggish YouTube playback, and sluggish Firefox in general...
Tried to find a solution on the Internet... no success... |

Well... I managed to fix pulseaudio.
now it looks like this:
| Code: |
$: fuser -v /dev/snd/*
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0: aps 7521 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/controlC1: aps 7521 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/controlC3: aps 7521 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/controlC4: aps 7521 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/controlC5: aps 7521 F.... wireplumber |
Still I have a very, very sluggish YouTube playback...
I assume it is not related to pulseaudio... |

OK, I think that I am on my own here 
Nevertheless, I managed to find the issue.
Installing firefox-bin solve the problem, so now I have to figure out which USE flag/s is/are responsible for this. |

If you desire to use pipewire, you should copy /usr/share/pipewire to /etc/, then edit /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf by removing the # before "path-------pipewire-media session and changing pipewire-media-session to "path------/wireplumber, of course autospawn should be set to no in /etc/pulse/client file.
of course I figure you're using openrc+elogind.
otherwise see; https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire#Replacing_PulseAudio).
hope it works.

Thank you tranquilcool.
I will try to do this...
As for now, I switched almost entirely to Chromium, and I am very happy. Grouping tabs + profiles made my day
As for now, I am not planning to switch to Firefox, but I will try your solution. |
