maybe the pipeware new configuration creates the issue?

Re: [SOLVED] audio does not work on gnome

Probably. I also lost sound in GNOME until I elected to over-write the old pipewire configuration files with the .pacnew files. You can always merge your changes back in with the new files afterwards.

Re: [SOLVED] audio does not work on gnome

Confirmed, the new .conf breaks pipewire, atleast in GNOME.

Temporary fix (as Head_on_a_Stick suggests) is to replace the new config with the old one.

mv /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/media-session.conf /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/media-session.conf.broken
mv /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/media-session.conf.packnew /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/media-session.conf

And reboot

How do we signal this to the devs?

Re: [SOLVED] audio does not work on gnome

What you did was replace your old broken configuration with the new working configuration, nothing to signal the devs about, pacnews are your responsibility to properly handle.

Re: [SOLVED] audio does not work on gnome

Then you have a different issue and should make a new thread about it including details of your setup.
