Description Mike Lothian 2021-10-25 11:41:29 UTC

I've followed the guide at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire to replace pulseaudio completely with pipewire

This has been working great until the upgrade to 0.3.39 where I noticed in KDE Plasma there were no audio devices showing

Downgrading back to pipewire 0.3.38 gets things working again

Reproducible: Always

Please verify you've followed the postinst elog instructions if you're using OpenRC (you'll need to undo a config change which you were previously instructed to make).

Comment 2 Mike Lothian 2021-10-25 13:57:19 UTC

I'm using systemd

I'm guessing I'm missing:

systemctl --user enable --now wireplumber.service

Comment 3 Mike Lothian 2021-10-25 14:00:09 UTC

Yeah that sorted it for me, I didn't notice the extra line from the usual "how to enable" elog stuff

Comment 4 Niklāvs Koļesņikovs 2021-10-25 14:58:27 UTC

You also missed the WirePlumber elog instruction to `systemctl --user disable --now pipewire-media-session` which isn't a problem so long as you do not downgrade to 0.3.28 or earlier with WirePlumber still installed because then you'll have both enabled. Also I'll note that I'm observing an interesting discrepancy where Gentoo users seem to do `systemctl --user disable --now pipewire-media-session` manually just fine without first disabling media-session service but for some reason Debian is having a hard time with doing that in their post-install script.

    media-video/pipewire-0.3.39-r1: Revbump, fix desktop (bug 820185)
    
    The desktop file was still launching /usr/libexec/pipewire-launcher but
    as of 0.3.39, it should be launching /usr/bin/gentoo-pipewire-launcher.
    Revbump the desktop file and install the updated version.
