I use dwm so no bloated gui control program, I use alsamixer. I have pipewire, not pulseaudio.

I fixed it

#

I didn't realize I needed pipewire AND pulseaudio

sonic osprey I didn't realize I needed pipewire AND pulseaudio

just to point out; you should not have pipewire and pulseaudio installed at the same time. but you should have pipewire-pulse and most likely pipewire-alsa installed alongside pipewire

#

oh

#

guess I'll do that but it's working fine with both, wierd.

crimson nest Apr 2, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

in that case, if you solved it by installing pulseaudio, you probably are not using pipewire at all currently

#

I am

#

I mean, it is installed, but pulseaudio is managing the audio and not pipewire

sonic osprey Apr 2, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

ah, that probably would be the issue, how would I fix that?

crimson nest Apr 2, 2023, 10:44 PM

#

remove pulseaudio, install pipewire-pulse instead, which lets pipewire handle everything pulseaudio would otherwise handle

sonic osprey Apr 2, 2023, 10:44 PM

#

I did that

crimson nest Apr 2, 2023, 10:44 PM

#

also wireplumber

sonic osprey Apr 2, 2023, 10:44 PM

#

but audio isn't currently working

sonic osprey Apr 2, 2023, 10:44 PM

#

crimson nest also wireplumber

already had that

#

oh wait no it is

crimson nest Apr 2, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

so you have pipewire, wireplumber, pipewire-pulse, pipewire-alsa; it does not work?

sonic osprey Apr 2, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

sonic osprey oh wait no it is

^

#

sorry

crimson nest Apr 2, 2023, 10:45 PM

#
