Description Paul Smith 2021-02-11 18:17:59 UTC

I have installed pipewire-pulseaudio with:

dnf --allowerasing install pipewire-pulseaudio

And now, the microphone is not detected.

Moreover, when I insert my wired headphones, I have to manually go to audio mixer to configure to "headphones (plugged in)" -- without pipewire, pulseaudio detects my headphones automatically.

I encountered the same issues during Audio test day when running Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-34-20210302.n.1.iso on 2 desktop computers. A laptop as 3rd test device however was not affected by them.

My Sandberg Streamer USB microphone is also not detected.

Comment 6 Mildred 2021-06-11 13:33:30 UTC

I upgraded from Fedora 33 to Fedora 34 recently, I am running Fedora 34.20210602.0 (Silverblue) with pipewire-0.3.28-1.fc34.x86_64 and pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.28-1.fc34.x86_64 and by default my USB microphone was not working (not detected).

I had to change the setting to api.alsa.use-acp = false (in /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/alsa-monitor.conf) and restart pipewire to make this work, as explained in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Microphone_is_not_detected_by_PipeWire
