Description Gurenko Alex 2021-03-24 17:57:22 UTC

Description of problem: When I join the zoom meeting, first several minutes people cannot hear me as my sound comes completely distorted. This changes on its own in a few minutes and stays fine for hours, but it makes impossible to talk in the beginning of the meeting. This does not happen with calls over Chrome or Bluejeans

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -qa | grep pipewire

pipewire0.2-libs-0.2.7-5.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-libs-0.3.24-1.fc34.i686
pipewire-0.3.24-1.fc34.i686
pipewire-alsa-0.3.24-1.fc34.i686
pipewire-libs-0.3.24-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-0.3.24-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.24-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-alsa-0.3.24-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-gstreamer-0.3.24-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit-0.3.24-1.fc34.x86_64
pipewire-utils-0.3.24-1.fc34.x86_64

How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Join Zoom call
2. Try to talk as soon as you join


Actual results:

People cannot hear you

Expected results:

Audio works as soon as you join the meeting

I can see error in pw-top for both zoom and my input device (Jabra Speak 710)

Comment 5 yasharjitm10 2021-04-04 05:50:32 UTC

I can still reproduce this on the latest build of pipewire. Tested this on firefox using Google Meet and Jitsi Meet. Also tested this locally on Sound Recorder app.

Comment 6 Gurenko Alex 2021-04-04 12:26:56 UTC

I can actually say that it solved this particular issue for me. If you have a problem with audio recording with Google/Jitsi Meet, that's not this problem, please open a new BZ.
