pipewire randomly mutes and sets my headphones volume to 0

I have some AUX headphones connected to my front panel audio; and I use pipewire. When a new device is detected pipewire mutes and sets my headphone volume to 0; also mutes Master of my card. it also happens randomly time to time; and always when I launch a game using Wine.
I have to go use alsamixer to unmute and volume=100 it (as I couldn't find a way to fix this non-interactively using amixer).

Switching to pulseaudio is not an option; I've switched to pipewire 2 years ago, and I haven't had a problem with pipewire since a couple of months ago. And I don't want to use pulseaudio as its buggy.

Do you https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … new_device or does https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … ot_working help (you're using wireplumber, not pipewire-media-session, are you?)

Re: pipewire randomly mutes and sets my headphones volume to 0

For the strange wine inference. Is lib32-libpulse and lib32-libpipewire installed? They are just optionals but quite vital for proper pipewire/pulseaudio in a wine context.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, they're both installed

Thank you for your time.

Yes. I'm using wireplumber.
Added the content mentioned in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … new_device to my `~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/switch-on-connect.conf` and removed the wireplumber directory according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … ot_working.
But the issue still persists.

Re: pipewire randomly mutes and sets my headphones volume to 0

and a strange thing is that pulseaudio says my headphones are "unplugged' but it works perfectly fine (except for the usual pulseaudio bugs). Also with pipewire/wireplumber I have to set it to "Pro audio" in pulsemixer for it to work

No, the idea was actually that such configuration would switch away from your HPs.

Do you get the very same behavior w/ a fresh user account?

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Such configuration wasn't present at the moment.

On a fresh user that only used pulsemixer to set the audio card on the "Pro audio", the problem persists.

Re: pipewire randomly mutes and sets my headphones volume to 0

Perpetually or only after a new device is detected?
Do you get the same behavior w/ the LTS kernel?

Perpetually. I don't connect any new devices. There's only my hdmi card ("Navi 21/23 HDMI/DP Audio Controller") which I don't use the sound device of it and my monitor is always connected.

Using the LTS kernel, I can use alsamixer to volume up and unmute my headphones; and would actually unmute the wine games (w/ the zen kernel isn't like this. the game'd get muted with no way of turning on the audio).
But using pulseaudio and my headphones being "unplugged" (and not being able to use the headphones unless its "Pro audio" w/ pipewire) still persists; And the annoying behavior of it getting muted when a wine game is opened (or randomly from time to time) still persists.

Re: pipewire randomly mutes and sets my headphones volume to 0

All of this sounds very peculiar, during issue reproduction what output do you get from 

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs
journalctl -b --user-unit pipewire --user-unit wireplumber

as well as terminal output from a wine game run

I have to correct myself as I observed something. Being able to unmute after a game is launched and has muted my headphones, was a matter of whether the game has loaded and detected its sound backend or not. as the game loaded a tiny bit slower with LTS kernel, I could switch faster to a different window to switch the audio back on.

Re: pipewire randomly mutes and sets my headphones volume to 0

Is there a reason you're trying to use a pro profile? It has quite some logical stipulations (like applications being trivially allowed to take exclusive locks on the card) that are likely to cause the issues you're seeing, do you not have a valid normal sink? What do you get from 

pactl list cards

Yeah, I've mentioned this before; there is no working normal sink present in my card.

and a strange thing is that pulseaudio says my headphones are "unplugged' but it works perfectly fine (except for the usual pulseaudio bugs). Also with pipewire/wireplumber I have to set it to "Pro audio" in pulsemixer for it to work

here's the output of the pactl list cards anyways (the card is called "HDA Intel PCH"):

Re: pipewire randomly mutes and sets my headphones volume to 0

Ah sorry I glossed over that. If you force it despite auto detection not being able to, does it work, or at least help the symptoms? 

pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo

Which controls are available for this card? 

amixer -c1

I've made this topic quite messy; The info is scattered across the replies and its easy to gloss over some.

No, setting the card to analog-stereo (or any other existing but "unavailable" sink) doesn't help with symptoms as it turns off the audio completely.

Re: pipewire randomly mutes and sets my headphones volume to 0

When a new device is detected pipewire mutes and sets my headphone volume to 0; also mutes Master of my card.

I don't connect any new devices. There's only my hdmi card ("Navi 21/23 HDMI/DP Audio Controller") which I don't use the sound device of it and my monitor is always connected.

Is it actually just PW or the auto-mute?
Compare

mpv -ao pipewire thunderstruck.mp3
mpv -ao alsa thunderstruck.mp3

Consider to blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi

Using both pipewire and alsa produce the same (muted) output when reproducing the issue.
Blacklisting snd_hda_codec_hdmi didn't help neither (I double checked with lsmod. its blacklisted). The "Headphone" item inside my HDA Intel PCH is still getting muted and volume is being set to zero.
