Weird pulseaudio bug?

telis80 · 2024-08-14 10:36:52

Hi, i have an hp laptop and i am facing an issue for a couple of months now. I didnt notice if it happened after a specific update. But the laptop appeared to not have any sound. Opening pulseaudio, going to output devices and muting and unmuting the speaker makes it work. I dunno where the issue could be, everything is updated. If you have any ideas on something to try please let me know! Thanks for any help!

So you're not actually using pulseaudio, this "used to be" somewhat of a bug in pipewire 1.2 should afaik be more or less mitigated by now. Can you try removing ~/.local/state/wireplumber and rebooting?

telis80 · 2024-08-14 19:59:20

Yeah i guess it was using pipewire all along. I am not that familiar with these. This worked indeed thanks for the help

telis80 · 2024-08-16 13:23:00

Update, i guess that was a temporary fix. After rebooting today again the problem persists

superjcvd · 2024-08-17 09:24:38

Hello there.

I have the exact same problem
I searched other the forum without any success.
I even reinstalled completly my laptop and still the same issue.

If anybody has any clue this would be great.

(it appeared a few months ago after an update)

Paharet · 2024-09-26 08:37:04

It's known bug of Pipewire. There was a commit made yesterday to fix the issue so update on it's way...
