KDE | pulseeffects 5.0.0-1 | pipewire

Hi!

Yesterday pacman -Syu updated pulseeffects to the latest version and ever since it's not working at all. No gui nor any change in the audio.
I tried the following without any success:

sudo pacman -Syy && sudo pacman -Rs --noconfirm pulseeffects && sudo pacman -Sc --noconfirm && sudo pacman -S --noconfirm pulseeffects && reboot

I don't know where to start debugging this so any kind of help is appreciated.

Re: KDE | pulseeffects 5.0.0-1 | pipewire

I do not know why you get no GUI, but:

https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects wrote:

Note for users that did not moved from Pulseaudio to PipeWire

From version 5.0.0 onward PulseEffects needs PipeWire. Pulseaudio users need to instal one of the 4.x releases or building a package directly from our legacy Pulseaudio branch https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects/tr … dio-legacy. Arch Linux users can also use the PKGBUILD on the same branch. This branch will receive updates for critical bugs as time goes by. So if PipeWire is not for you yet it is fine to use the legacy branch.

Re: KDE | pulseeffects 5.0.0-1 | pipewire

You start by telling us what you actually see. What's in stderr? Logs? This is the basics, just saying that something doesn't work doesn't mean anything.

Don't do partial updates. The command you gave does partial updates, and the triple -y is just nonsense.

Sorry I was figuring out how to post the logs.
Partial updates? I force refreshed the package database (Syy | Syyy was a typo), removed pulseeffects, cleared the package cache, then installed it again and rebooted the system. There was no update.

Re: KDE | pulseeffects 5.0.0-1 | pipewire

Thank you for the bug report!

I tested pulseeffects 5.0.0-1 with pipewire pipewire-pulse gst-plugin-pipewire and the following happened:

  • during the installation pulseaudio got replaced with pipewire-pulse

  • pulseeffects gui shown and settings working

  • KDE - volume stuck at 100% yet still produces no sound

  • KDE - increasing volume above 100% with multimedia keys is a workaround for "no sound" (pulseeffects settings applied)

  • KDE - notification sounds cannot be muted nor set and stuck at 100% the slider reverts back itself (in this case 100% is loud as hell)

  • KDE - microphone is visible on the system tray without any connected device

Pulseeffects 4.8.3-3 with pulseaudio did not produce any of these errors.
In case of pulseeffects-legacy-git 4.8.4, the equalizer is greyed out and not working.


Temporarily reverted the package back to 4.8.3-3 and disabled the upgrade:

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2021/01/01/community/os/x86_64/pulseeffects-4.8.3-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo vim /etc/pacman.conf
"IgnorePkg = pulseeffects"

Re: KDE | pulseeffects 5.0.0-1 | pipewire

I did some tests today and at least the volume issues are fixed.

[Log in to Virtual Console]

    sudo pacman -Rns pulseeffects

    sudo pacman -Rddn pipewire pulseaudio

    cd ~/.config/

    rm -r PulseEffects/

    rm -r pulse/

    sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack plasma-pa

    [Revert IgnorePkg in pacman.conf if present]

    reboot

[Log in to KDE / Check audio / If works reboot and log in to Virtual Console]

    sudo pacman -S gst-plugin-pipewire pulseeffects

    reboot

[Log in to KDE]

    pulseeffects -r

    reboot

[Log in to KDE & load pulseeffects presets]

In my case after this pulseeffects 5.0.0-1 works like before, volume can be adjusted normally both in the gui and with hotkeys, effects applied..
Except these two:

  • Nonexistent microphone is used as an output by pulseeffects; muting it under System Settings/Audio/Applications disables the playback.

  • Cannot disable notification sounds under System Settings/Audio/Applications. Stuck at 100%.

Here is the log about what happens when I try to mute notification sounds either by clicking on the icon or with the slider:

[Menu: System Settings/Audio/Applications]
Priority: Warning
Unit: plasmashell

org.kde.plasma.pulseaudio: pa_ext_stream_restore_write failed

This happened during music playback on Elisa without interrupting it:

Priority: Error
Unit: pipewire

alsa-pcm 0x55ce2e5d9778: snd_pcm_status error: Broken pipe

Later on Firefox it occurred again and the whole audio playback died system-wide.
Pulseeffects did not start after that.

Maybe the failed pipewire-media-session has something to do with it:

Re: KDE | pulseeffects 5.0.0-1 | pipewire

Hey, I'm also experiencing same problem. All options are greyed out and don't work with pipewire but somehow works with pipewire-pulse even that is also buggy, it crashes after ~15 minutes. Legacy version of pulseeffects doesn't work either. I tried launching through terminal but it doesn't give any error.
Also, when installed with pipewire-pulse it gives two pulseeffects sink at 100% when I try to switch to them pulseeffects crashes.(I'm also using KDE).

Re: KDE | pulseeffects 5.0.0-1 | pipewire

I was able to avoid the pipewiresrc error by installing `gst-plugin-pipewire`, pulseeffects now works for me

Re: KDE | pulseeffects 5.0.0-1 | pipewire

avneesh:
When I installed only "pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack plasma-pa" during testing it worked without any errors.
I mean there was no "pa_ext_stream_restore_write failed" nor "Broken pipe" during playback.
The problems came randomly after installing pulseeffects 5.0.0-1..

Our choices are:

  • Use IgnorePkg until pulseeffects 5.4+ version.

  • Ask a developer equally familiar with kde and pipewire about what could have caused these errors, then report possible causes (+logs) to the pulseeffects devs on GitHub.
    (I'm still working on it, but the more of us the better.)



Klowner:
What packages did you install?
If I leave out pipewire-pulse the following happens:

  • No errors/warnings in logs or console.

  • No effects applied even after reset.

  • Service doesn't exists.

  • GUI works.

Re: KDE | pulseeffects 5.0.0-1 | pipewire

There's also `pulseeffects-legacy-git` from AUR.
