Description Stefan Salewski 2022-07-31 15:39:35 UTC
My Gentoo box was fresh installed two months ago (Gnome/Systemd/no-multilib, amd64), sound was working. I think with a pipewire/pulseaudio mix.

I followed the migration guide carefully. After update, I had no sound. Finally, I had the feeling that use flag pipewire-alsa was missing in make.conf. I added it and did a world update, including reemerging pipewire. Sound was working immediately, even without a reboot. Well, after reboot it still works.

My useflags in make.conf is now:

USE="lto pgo clang graphite -fortran systemd opengl vulkan vaapi vdpau spell -elogind zstd -qt -qt5 -kde gnome gtk X wayland networkmanager dbus alsa pipewire-alsa vpx bluetooth lm-sensors"

The reason for my missing pipewire-alsa may be, that I am using a no-multilib install, so the default systemd gnome useflag set is not provided. Maybe we should mention this fact in the migration guide. Additional, I am using GentooLTO, but I think that makes no difference for this issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Follow the migration guide carefully
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
No sound

Expected Results:  
Sound

Ensure that pipewire-alsa use flag is active!

Please share emerge --info. Also, what profile are you on exactly?

It's noteworthy that you're not on a desktop profile.

Yes, I tried to express that fact in my initial comment with "that I am using a no-multilib install, so the default systemd gnome useflag set is not provided.". Maybe not the optional wording.

Many people like me prefer to use a no-multilib profile, as they have never used 32 bit software in the last decades, and do not intend it in the future. So the desktop profiles are not an option.

Well I created this issue mostly for people with the same problem. I think now we can close the issue.
