I have recently switched to pipewire as replacement to pulseaudio. The switch went (almost) flawlessly, and all seems to work fine. Because of work, I am forced to use, from time to time, applications like teams or skype. After the last pipewire update, I have noticed that teams, skypeforlinux, and microsoft-edge are not able to use the microphone any more (the microphone works regularly, tested with pw-record among others). The microphone is detected, and the failure appears as a muted microphone. The only message I had was from teams: the connection is OK, I am able to star the meeting, but -- after joining -- a warning appears (I'm sorry, the message is in Italian) and it translates roughly as "I'm not able to find a microphone. Please connect to a different one or try to reconnect". Besides that, I am not able to find other messages or logs, but the use of such software is impaired. I have also tried to delete all the relevant configurations, and to make test calls, but to no avail. Reproducible: Always Not sure it is really needed, but anyway... emerge --info Portage 3.0.30 (python 3.9.13-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.1, gcc-11.3.0, glibc-2.35-r7, 5.18.6 x86_64)

Perhaps this issue https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/2473 or https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/2418 which might be same bug or not. If possible, please try the 9999 ebuild and with any luck it will be fixed there. If so, please let us know, since then it will hopefully also work with the next version. If that's too complicated, you can try `emerge -v1 =media-video/pipewire-0.3.51-r2` and then restart the daemons with either: systemd: systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl --user restart pipewire{,-pulse}.socket OpenRC (sorry in advance if I got the launcher's name wrong) : gentoo-pipewire-launcher. If you're already using 0.3.51, trying the 9999 is still a good idea but obviously it's not a regression in 0.3.52. I'll pre-emptively say that even if 9999 works, I'm not sure if it's worth trying to find and backport any fixes since that version is likely to get removed from the tree as soon as upstream makes a new release.

OK, maybe I wasn't thorough enough in my report. Up to pipewire-0.3.51-r2, everything was OK. After the upgrade to 0.3.52-r1, I started to notice microphone (and only microphone) issues. It appears that, while {microsoft,electron,chromium}-based packages are able to find and (apparently) connect to the device, they disconnect from the device (and/or are unable to find it any more). Such a failure is silent to me -- at least in the sense that these applications do not leave a log I am able to find. So, long story short: 0.3.51 works with such software; 0.3.52 don't.

Apparently is fixed in pipewire-0.3.54. What about closing as WORKFORME?
