Just verified it still works for me with up-to-date @world and pipewire built with USE sound-server. Let's maybe see pa-info output? Is there an equivalent debug info script for pipewire?

The most likely reason is that Igor forgot to specify +sound-server, so unsuspecting PipeWire audio users were hit by a regression when their audio support got disabled by a USE flag change (which would not even be visible without emerge -v). Please try `USE=sound-server emerge -v1 pipewire` followed by a daemon restart with `systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl --user restart pipewire{,-pulse}.socket` (with systemd) or by running `gentoo-pipewire-launcher &` (with OpenRC) manually and let us know if that fixed it.

Oh, hard blockers.. I'm sorry to say that I'm not immediately sure how you can fix that, so I'll leave that to Sam and most preferably Igor to own up to this mess by fixing their mistake.
I appreciate the effort. Thanks

Running: USE=-daemon emerge -1a pulseaudio USE=sound-server emerge -p1 pipewire now works as expected. I think that the "daemon" use flag is enabled by default for pulseaudio
I can confirm that for me: media-video/pipewire sound-server media-sound/pulseaudio -daemon Solves issue and I can see audio devices again, all again works as expected. I hope this will be solved automatically in future, since this broke audio on ~amd64 desktop profile (default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd)

Removing that should have allowed resolving the blocker (it is in the 4th line) provided you do not have manually set USE daemon for media-sound/pulseaudio and also do not have pulseaudio and pulseaudio-daemon in the world file. I just added a PR proposing to drop default USE +daemon from media-sound/pulseaudio package.

This is still not enough, because it will require a user to make changes to have a working "sound server" by setting `media-video/pipewire sound-server`. I understand that Gentoo is about choice and being flexible, but still we should have some sane defaults, that things can work out of the box? I'm not much into audio stuff, I'm just a regular user (I don't care much how it works, I just want to hear sound when I play something), I used alsa directly, later pulseaudio, now pipewire, all was generally easy transition. For me pipewire+wireplumber works fine, and I'm ok for it to be a new default, but it's not up to me to decide. So either `media-video/pipewire +sound-server` or it needs to be part of the desktop profile, so when you chose to install Gentoo with a desktop profile you don't need to select sound server, there is default one, and if you want to switch to alternative one, it's up to you to follow documentation or figure out USE flags, and make a switch.
(In reply to Branko Grubic from comment #16) > This is still not enough, because it will require a user to make changes to > have a working "sound server" by setting `media-video/pipewire sound-server`. This is only required to get out of earlier issue where pipewire audio parts were unconditionally enabled for openrc users. I do not think there is any painless way to do this; you either force everyone to pipewire by upgrading that USE to +sound-server, or require everyone willing to move to pipewire to make that explicit by setting USE sound-server on pipewire. Ideally it should have been recognized from the start that pipewire audio parts (incl. wireplumber implementation) do not follow the audio device coexistence protocol in full anymore and USE sound-server added earlier. > I understand that Gentoo is about choice and being flexible, but still we > should have some sane defaults, that things can work out of the box? Default setup should still have working audio, but I understand it is not the sound server of your choice but this is still one-time pain to make your choice explicit.

Drop default USE +daemon from metapackage to allow cleaning up media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon if USE daemon is not set by user. Client libs package media-libs/libpulse will still make sure that one of available pulseaudio server implementations is installed, but will not enforce any particular choice. To change pulseaudio server implementation to pipewire make sure neither media-sound/pulseaudio nor media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon are in the @world and USE daemon is not set for media-sound/pulseaudio, then set USE sound-server for media-video/pipewire and update as usual: emerge -avtuDU @world To change pulseaudio server implementation to pulseaudio-daemon remove USE sound-server from media-video/pipewire and update like this: emerge -avtuDU --oneshot @world pulseaudio-daemon Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/856745 Signed-off-by: Igor V.

Maybe these changes caused BUG#857588 and BUG#857591 ?
Those two are probably related if users cherry-pick their accept-keywords; now you need to add unstable pulseaudio,libpulse and pulseaudio-daemon too to let emerge resolve the issue properly. There should be no issue if you are on stable (because this change is not applied to stable yet) or you are on unstable in full.
Well, no matter how exactly user does enable unstable pipewire version, you still have to set USE sound-server on updated pipewire to enable alsa and bluetooth devices, so I'd guess users in those two bugs did not noticed the elog entry.
