For some reason my pipewire is refusing to output any sound whatsoever. When I try to restart it I get a bunch of errors:

charred wave Is xdg-desktop-portal running?

How can I check that is the question

charred wave May 21, 2023, 4:40 PM

also that error happens when you have two instances of pipewire running

what DE/WM are you trying to use

boreal karma May 21, 2023, 4:44 PM

the no such file or directory?

charred wave May 21, 2023, 4:44 PM

boreal karma the no such file or directory?

no the pipewire error

well, I am and was using so far xfce4 working just fine, even the audio

charred wave May 21, 2023, 4:49 PM

#

hm some thoughts going through my brain

#

another instance of pipewire running (check ps aux or htop)

#

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set

#

just doing some quick googling

boreal karma May 21, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

charred wave hm some thoughts going through my brain

shouldn't restart stop all the pipewires

charred wave May 21, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

it may be hanging

#

this is an annoying error that I haven't had to deal with lol

#

most like issues here are

#

the other instance or permissions for your runtime dir

Ok, killed all pipewires and then:

I wonder if your XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set properly

#

or lacking permissions

#

echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR```

#

but I had sound when that was unset. hm.

#

Xfce should automatically start xdg-desktop-portal

#

you can check if you have any of the versions installed using something like eix

boreal karma May 21, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

charred wave ```bash echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR```

~ ❯ echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

#

I didn't have xdg installed, let me restart my PC

charred wave May 21, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

how are you setting that, are the permissions correct?

#

also try that

boreal karma May 21, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

charred wave also try that

restarted, no audio

charred wave May 21, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

I think xfce would want the -gtk or -gnome variant but I'm unsure

boreal karma May 21, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

charred wave how are you setting that, are the permissions correct?

no clue

#

the ammount of errors reduced tho

charred wave May 21, 2023, 5:08 PM

I'm just gonna try to figure it out based on the error message as pipewire works just fine for me

oh?

hm most of the errors I see that are similar to yours are still pipewire somehow being launched twice

there is no instance running right now right

pipewire is running, if we know that permissions work for sure then we can check pulse audio server emulation and device settings

#

but these errors are meaningless and don't impact sound

yes it is interesting

#

sry it's taking a while I don't know this issue off of the top of my head

#

I might ask someone that has worked with pipewire earlier but out of interest

#

can you emerge -pv pulseaudio pipewire wireplumber pulseaudio-daemon libpulse

boreal karma May 21, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

charred wave can you `emerge -pv pulseaudio pipewire wireplumber pulseaudio-daemon libpulse`

https://rentry.org/73iru

charred wave May 21, 2023, 5:31 PM

getting some issues with improper installation

actually

boreal karma May 21, 2023, 5:33 PM

pulse audio should be installed

I just hope that is it honestly

#

yeah, pipewire has an update, let's hope

charred wave May 21, 2023, 6:17 PM

#

there's two versions keyworded as stable

so this may have something to do with it

#

seems like it's defaulting to a sound card

#

that doesnt exist or work

#

If you start alsamixer without "-c0", it will attach to the default device, which is by default also card 0. But in your .asoundrc, you define a different default device:

just a matter figuring out where it's setting the wrong default device

specifying card 0

if setting that as your default in the asound.conf doesn't work some place is changing thta

like if you have a .asoundrc or smth like that
