FieldRayo · 2024-02-11 08:13:35

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out to seek assistance with an issue I've been encountering regarding WirePlumber and PipeWire Multimedia Service on my Arch Linux system. I've tried various troubleshooting steps but haven't been able to resolve the issue.

Here's a summary of the problem and what I've tried so far:

Problem:
I'm experiencing errors related to missing modules (ipaModuleInfo and v4l2-compat.so) when attempting to run WirePlumber and PipeWire Multimedia Service on my Arch Linux system.

Details:

When starting WirePlumber and PipeWire Multimedia Service, I encounter errors such as:

    ERROR IPAModule ipa_module.cpp:172 Symbol ipaModuleInfo not found
    ERROR IPAModule ipa_module.cpp:292 v4l2-compat.so: IPA module has no valid info

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

Checked the installation of necessary modules using the command: comando
Reinstalled WirePlumber and PipeWire using the command: sudo pacman -S wireplumber pipewire
Ensured all packages related to WirePlumber and PipeWire are up-to-date with: sudo pacman -Syu

Despite these efforts, I'm still encountering the same errors and haven't been able to resolve the issue.

Additional Information:

Operating System: Arch Linux
WirePlumber Version: 0.4.17
PipeWire Version: 1.0.3

I would greatly appreciate any assistance or insights into resolving this issue. If anyone has encountered a similar problem or has any suggestions for troubleshooting, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Please wrap outputs in bbcode code tags

Do you have an actual question/problem aside of these errors? They are only relevant for webcam integration and I'd assume not further worrisome for any other case

FieldRayo · 2024-02-11 17:50:36

Yes, I have a specific problem I suppose I forgot to mention. The main issue is that it doesn't detect audio inputs and outputs, and therefore I can't hear sound from the device.

Yeah that changes things... Post

Are we blacklisting i915?

V1del asked you to please use [code][/code] tags, not "quote" tags. Edit your post in this regard.

FieldRayo · 2024-02-13 21:38:06

It seems that you did not have all the services activated, so I put the following command to activate them

systemctl --user --now enable pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber

I created the alsa-base.conf file in /etc/modeprobe.d/
and inserted the following into the file:

options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0

Solved.

seth · 2024-02-13 21:56:03

PW is supposed to be socket-activated, no?
The only thing that probably does something there is "dmic_detect=0", again: are you maybe blacklisting i915?

V1del · 2024-02-14 01:11:05

PW service enablement is definitely irrelevant here.

afaik the essx sof device is known problematic, I remember a topic here where one can pass a specific quirk option but didn't get to dig that up.

Note that dmic_detect will break mic support, so do not be surprised if that doesn't work and if your next thread asks for help with that, you'd need to get this fixed without the dmic_detect=0 parameter.

But failed on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=286495 and #7 looks like copypasta from there

(sorry wrong post, how do I delete this answer?)
