[SOLVED] Pipewire crashes with multiple sources on IEC958/AC3 codec

Foxhole · 2022-05-24 15:44:56

Hello there,
I had run into a weird issue recently with an external usb audio card. I had reinstalled arch from zero with archinstall and I opted for pipewire with wireplumber. Some relevant packages I had installed:

pacman -Q | grep -E "alsa|pipewire|wireplumber|audio|pulse|jack|pavucontrol"

The audio card is:

lsusb | grep Sound
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0d8c:0102 C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM106 Like Sound Device

When using plain IEC958 codec, i get no issues but the audio is streamed as stereo.
I run into issues if I set as codec "Digital Surround 5.1 (IEC958/AC3)". It may happen that i hear whatever I had chosen to play or I do hear nothing and see the application which should play the sound hanging.
It may happen that I hear a loud distorted buzz also when not playing sound which almost made me deaf. This happened more often when I tried unplugging and plugging in again the usb soundcard.

When trying to fix those issues, I tried copying the config directory /usr/share/pipewire into /etc . I had realized that archinstall didn't copy the default configuration.

I had noticed that this happens each time two applications try to play some sound at the same time. Once it happens, pipewire blocks all audio and I cannot use that codec anymore.

Afterwards, I had tried enabling real time DTS as shown on https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … n_realtek/ and I had it working perfectly.

I had AC3 working without issues around 3 weeks ago with pipewire and pipewire-media-session on a previous archlinux installation. I had tried pipewire media session again but got no success in fixing those issues.

I don't know which other command output could be helpful to provide you more context, so feel free to ask.

Edit: I removed alsa-firmware and it seemed to work better but it lasted a few minutes

Ok, I have no clue on what happened, it suddenly started working without alsa firmware. I had changed the output on most apps which used to give me problems (Discord and Spotify) with helvum opened and now it is working. Weird.
