[SOLVED] Help with Pipewire

RazoBlast · 2024-01-13 10:19:49

A few days ago, I did a

sudo pacman -Syu

This lead to PulseAudio somehow breaking?

Basically, it would detect my Output and Input devices, but opening lets say Chromium, the audio wouldn't work on YouTube.

Pavucontrol also did the same, no Chromium was found.

I then switched to pipewire, and then also, same issue.

I really want to fix this, pipewire starts with no issues or errors.

I also installed pipewire-pulse, however I can only start pavucontrol from the terminal, starting it using something like rofi would make the application hang on "Establishing connection with PulseAudio" or something.

Thanks,
RazoBlast

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
systemctl --user pipewire{-pulse] wireplumber
pacman -Q dbus dbus-broker-units

how are you starting your graphical session? If via startx/xinitrc make sure you've read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit#xinitrc and pay attention to the notes

It is a pretty weird way.
First I run LightDM manually from TTY, and then finally login.

Here is the output

 systemctl --user pipewire{-pulse] wireplumber
pacman -Q dbus dbus-broker-units
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  razoblast   1372 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/controlC1:  razoblast   1371 F.... pipewire
                     razoblast   1372 F.... wireplumber
/dev/snd/seq:        razoblast   1371 F.... pipewire
Unknown command verb 'pipewire{-pulse]'.
dbus 1.14.10-2
dbus-broker-units 35-2

How do you do that, exactly? Please post the exact command(s) used. And perhaps more importantly, why do you do that?

Which desktop environment is this?

I think that should have been

systemctl --user status pipewire{,-pulse} wireplumber

whoops yes

FWIW starting lightdm that way might not setup certain logistics regarding DBUS within the graphical session correctly.

Alright, the reason why I do it is because I have a Windows 10 VM with Single GPU Passthrough, so I have to do

 sudo systemctl disable lightdm.service

As using the built in script file leads me back to the display manager.
