 |
|
Hey gang,
Yup, yet another user issue with only getting "Dummy output" when using pipewire + pulse
Here's a bunch of info:
emerge --info
equery u pipewire
| Code: |
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for media-video/pipewire-9999:
U I
+ + X : Enable audible bell for X11
+ + abi_x86_32 : 32-bit (x86) libraries
+ + bluetooth : Enable Bluetooth Support
+ + dbus : Enable dbus support for anything that needs it (gpsd, gnomemeeting, etc)
- - doc : Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
- - echo-cancel : Enable WebRTC-based echo canceller via media-libs/webrtc-audio-processing
+ + extra : Build pw-cat/pw-play/pw-record
+ + ffmpeg : Enable ffmpeg/libav-based audio/video codec support
- - flatpak : Enable Flatpak support
- - gsettings : Use gsettings (dev-libs/glib) to read/save used modules (useful for e.g. media-sound/paprefs
+ + gstreamer : Add support for media-libs/gstreamer (Streaming media)
- - ieee1394 : Enable FireWire/iLink IEEE1394 support (dv, camera, ...)
- - jack-client : Install a plugin for running PipeWire as a JACK client
- - jack-sdk : Use PipeWire as JACK replacement
- - liblc3 : Allow loading LC3 plugins via media-sound/liblc3
- - lv2 : Allow loading LV2 plugins via media-libs/lv2
+ + man : Build and install man pages
- - modemmanager : Combined with USE=bluetooth, allows PipeWire to perform telephony on mobile devices.
- - pipewire-alsa : Replace PulseAudio's ALSA plugin with PipeWire's plugin
+ + readline : Enable support for libreadline, a GNU line-editing library that almost everyone wants
- - roc : Enable roc support for real-time audio streaming over the network, using media-libs/roc-toolkit. See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Network#roc
+ + sound-server : Provide sound server using ALSA and bluetooth devices
+ + ssl : Enable raop-sink support (needs dev-libs/openssl)
- - systemd : Enable use of systemd-specific libraries and features like socket activation or session tracking
- - test : Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)
+ + v4l : Enable support for video4linux (using linux-headers or userspace libv4l libraries)
- - zeroconf : Support for DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD)

Try enabling the pipewire-alsa USE flag.
Also, it may be pipewire/pulseaudio conflicting not sure. |

Hello, I'm new user here. I'm also running into this issue.
I tried enabling pipewire-alsa USE flag but it didn't work. |

I don't believe I have anything with pulseaudio running. The following you'll see that all the pulse related things are commented out in my /usr/share/pipewire/ directory:
| Code: |
# rg 'pulse' /usr/share/pipewire/*
/usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf
337: # You can optionally start the pulseaudio-server here as well
342: #{ path = "/usr/bin/pipewire" args = [ "-c" "pipewire-pulse.conf" ]
343: # condition = [ { exec.pipewire-pulse = null } { exec.pipewire-pulse = true } ] }
/usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-avb.conf
1:# PulseAudio config file for PipeWire version "1.1.0" #
7:# /etc/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/ for system-wide changes or in
8:# ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/ for local changes.
/usr/share/pipewire/minimal.conf
48: # Load the pulseaudio emulation daemon
49: minimal.use-pulse = true
153: { name = libpipewire-module-protocol-pulse
154: condition = [ { minimal.use-pulse = true } ]
158:pulse.properties = {
435: # You can optionally start the pulseaudio-server here as well
440: ##{ path = "/usr/bin/pipewire" args = "-c pipewire-pulse.conf" }
/usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf
1:# PulseAudio config file for PipeWire version "1.1.0" #
7:# /etc/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/ for system-wide changes or in
8:# ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/ for local changes.
43: { name = libpipewire-module-protocol-pulse
45: # contents of pulse.properties can also be placed here
52:# a script or in pulse.cmd below
63:pulse.cmd = [
88:pulse.properties = {
103: #server.dbus-name = "org.pulseaudio.Server"
104: #pulse.min.req = 128/48000 # 2.7ms
105: #pulse.default.req = 960/48000 # 20 milliseconds
106: #pulse.min.frag = 128/48000 # 2.7ms
107: #pulse.default.frag = 96000/48000 # 2 seconds
108: #pulse.default.tlength = 96000/48000 # 2 seconds
109: #pulse.min.quantum = 128/48000 # 2.7ms
110: #pulse.idle.timeout = 0 # don't pause after underruns
111: #pulse.default.format = F32
112: #pulse.default.position = [ FL FR ]
115:pulse.properties.rules = [
120: pulse.min.quantum = 1024/48000 # 22ms
127:pulse.rules = [
169: pulse.min.req = 512/48000 # 10.6ms
170: pulse.min.quantum = 512/48000 # 10.6ms
171: pulse.idle.timeout = 5 # pause after 5 seconds of underrun
|
So I'm not 100% sure. I'll look around for some more stuff here in a bit. |

The problem is getting my system to output sound there.
Running speaker-test -t wav -c2 -Dplughw:0,10 and speaker-test -t wav -Dhdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=4 is how I figured it out.
Thing is, I have 0 clue how the hell I'm supposed to tell pipewire to output to hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=4 or plughw:0,10. That's all I want to do, and I really don't feel like having to delve into Pipewire's god awful JSON-esque DSL where I have to create a new node or whatever.
This is in my ~/.asoundrc
| Code: |
# pcm.!default {
# type hw
# card Audio
# }
# ctl.!default {
# type hw
# card Audio
# }
defaults.pcm.card 0
# defaults.pcm.device 10
defaults.ctl.card 0
defaults.pcm.dmix.rate 48000
|
I really have no idea what to do now. |

Move away your ~/.asoundrc and also /etc/asound.conf if that exists, then restart pipewire/wireplumber and see if that helps. |
