 |
|
| This is true for all applications. I am able to start pipewire, and it is detected as a sound system in alsamixer. However, no sound is played. |

What is the output of
| Code: |
emerge -pv pipewire libpulse pulseaudio
|
?
How do you start pipewire?
Via DM, xinitrc or manually?

I start pipewire manually. Also, not sure if this would help but bluetooth audio works fine. It's just the sound from the speakers that is not working. I do not think it is a hardware issue.

Try
| Code: |
emerge -1av pulseaudio
USE="-pipewire-alsa" emerge -1av pipewire
|
and see if it is solved.
Run as user
| Code: |
LANG=C pactl info | grep "Server Name"
|
If yes add USE="pulseaudio" in make.conf and rebuild @world and remove USE "pipewire-alsa" from pipewire.

It will just install it.But you will be using pipewire.
You will hopefully get
| Code: |
LANG=C pactl info | grep "Server Name"
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.39)
|
See https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire#USE_flags

It means (re)building a package without creating an entry for it in world file( /var/lib/portage/world).
Packages in that file are normally not un-merged during --depcleaning.
They are persistent either because they belong to the @system set or because you explicitly emerged them.
It is equivalent to
This is useful for rebuilding packages pulled in as a dependency by another package you explicitly emerged or by a USE flag.
Or for temporarily emerging a package that will be --depcleaned in next update.
Generally you should avoid having dependent packages in word file because it can potentially create problems in future updates
For example pulseaudio is pulled by USE="pulseaudio" in make.conf.
You do not need to explicitly emerge it like
| Code: |
emerge -av pulseaudio
|
It will be pulled by the use flag @world update or rebuild.
Sometimes a common mistake is when you need to rebuild an already existing package for testing purposes or a changed USE flag you commonly do
You should always do
| Code: |
emerge -1 <package>
|
Only use explicit emerging if a package is a major package you need and is not pulled by any dependency.

Please see above.
Also when you wish to register a package in world file
do
| Code: |
emerge --noreplace <package>
|
If you wish to remove it from world file without deleting it
do
| Code: |
emerge --deselect <package>
|
You are welcome!

You should only use pipewire pulseaudio, if you were already using pulseaudio.
You don't need it to play audio through alsa, but alsa does require wireplumber and use flags for pipewire-alsa and sound-server.
When you are trying pipewire, open another terminal and run either "pw-link -l" or "pw-top" they both show info for pipewire.
You could also run "wpctl status" to see what devices wireplumber actually sees.
