Decided to try out pipewire for fancy features (graph based audio, patchbays etc)
Was a huge fan of pulseaudio+pavucontrol+pactl :(
installed pipewire, pipewire-audio, pipewire-pulse, wireplumber
rebooted
no audio, firefox keeps hanging, can't play videos either
$ systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse

can you show me the output of cat /proc/asound/cards?
also see if your device is muted, alsamixer
keen vale
Sure, here
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Generic ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
HD-Audio Generic at 0xfcdc8000 irq 78
1 [Generic_1 ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
HD-Audio Generic at 0xfcdc0000 irq 79
2 [acp ]: acp - acp

weird, does nothing.
I've used alsamixer before with pulseaudio... used to work.

Copy /usr/share/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf into /etc/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf and change the log.level line to set it to 3 and then restart wireplumber for more verbose output
keen vale
PS: takes lot of time to load up...
keen vale
Sure, here
```
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Generic ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Aud...
but volume is okay
for 1st entry here
keen vale
Copy /usr/share/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf into /etc/wireplumber/wireplumber.c...
does copying it to ~/.config/wireplumber work too?
subtle latch
if it follows XDG (pretty sure it does) then yes
subtle latch
but volume is okay
for 1st entry here
are you trying to use your laptop speakers or headphones
keen vale
laptop speakers
keen vale
that doesn't have any sound controls... the chip field is blank too
subtle latch
oh, alright
keen vale
I think I have the same audio card for speaker and headphones...
the 1st one
subtle latch
but that doesnt explain why wireplumeber is trying to load acp
try messing with pactl-default-sink
keen vale
Connection failure: Timeout
pactl info?
keen vale
Connection failure: Timeout
$ pactl info
Connection failure: Timeout
i have never seen that error huh
i know its deprecated and what not, but try installing pipewire-media-session
that is controlled by pulseaudio
keen vale
did that + reboot
audio works!
subtle latch
nice
subtle latch
Idk much but here ya go https://github.com/mikeroyal/PipeWire-Guide#Installing-PipeWire-on-Arch-Linux
btw you can use pavucontrol to control pipewire i thiink
i use pulsemixer
subtle latch
um no I dont use that
keen vale
um no I dont use that
what do you use to control app volumes?
what about app routes?
