 Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2023 7:08 am Post subject: pipewire on KDE problem |
 |
|
Hi !
I converted my system from pulseaudio to pipewire as it says in the manual https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire and after a little manipulation everything worked successfully.
The problem occurred after I added a new user and deleted from the system some old, non-necessary multimedia applications that I had installed long ago when pulseaudio was running. There are no audio devices in KDE now.
At the same time | Quote: | | pipewire.socket, pipiwire-pulse.socket, wireplumber.service |
are running and working.
USE (global and local for plasma-meta) flags do not contain. Pipewire is compiled with | Quote: | | sound-server, udev, pipewire-alsa flags. |
Thank you very much all idee, how can i get audio on KDE working again. |

| That wiki page mentions USE pulseaudio is still needed, can you do that and see if that helps? |

i am plasma user ( ~amd64)
pipewire is a bit headache, i decided to use pipewire-9999 (it's not necessary but I prefer that way)
so, i have activated pulseaudio, (and not pipewire-alsa) in my plasma-meta to avoid problems in general and in particular because of plasma-pa to have a mixer... however, pipewire maight be have its own mixer or a plugin in a future, who knows!
| Quote: | # equery u pipewire

wants
+ + roc : Enable roc support for real-time audio streaming over the network, using media-libs/roc-toolkit.
+ + sound-server : Provide sound server using ALSA and bluetooth devices
+ + ssl : Enable raop-sink support (needs dev-libs/openssl)

Hi !
Thank you very much for your help and for your attention to my post !
I had the pulseaudio USE flag for plazma-meta enabled locally and everything seemed to be fine, except for two cases:
no sound in firefox, VLC;
when in the Audio-Devices Tab of KDE Settings I tried to test the speakers (test button and then the icon with left or right speaker) I got a message that the system can't find the sound driver.
In a global USE variable i do not have pulseaudio flag as enabled.
Thanks ! |

It seems like you are trying to cut out USE pulseaudio, this is not necessary and atm is just asking for issues. Just have it enabled and see if firefox audio starts working.
Note you will probably need to enable pipewire-alsa if you have pipewire sound server, or your alsa programs may have issues too. |

Thank you very much for your help !
I have now put pulsaudio flag back, locally only for the plasma-meta package. For a total of 5 packages rebuilt. The sound is back.
Thank you very much ! |

Make sure to use the full names of profiles, not numbers, as the numbers aren't universal. |
