Description Georg Müller 2021-03-28 08:51:01 UTC

Description of problem:
When logging in on a second virtual terminal, no sound card is available to play sounds.
With Fedora 33 and pulseaudio, this worked. Switching to a different virtual terminal disabled the sound of the previous virtual terminal do that the sound card was available for the new one.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pipewire-0.3.24-4.fc34.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in as user1, play music
2. Switch to VT1 (gdm), audio continues playing (unexpected)
3. Log in as user2

Actual results:.
* Music of user1 is still played on VT of user2
* `pactl list short` does not list any alsa input or output for user2

Expected results:
Same behavior as with pulseaudio on Fedora 33:
* Music of user1 stops after switching to a different VT
* user2 is possible to see sound cards

Comment 1 Georg Müller 2021-03-28 09:40:19 UTC

I just tried to switch back to pulseaudio to reproduce the behavior.

After a `sudo dnf swap --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio pulseaudio` and a reboot, the behavior was as expected (switching away from VT of user1 immediately stops his audio, sound working for a second user)

Comment 2 Georg Müller 2021-04-23 01:34:21 UTC

The visibility and sound playing is now fixed with pipewire-0.3.26-1.fc34.x86_64.

Sound in browser (firefox) works after returning back to VT2 (user1).

But audacious fails to continue playing music after returning back to VT2 (user1):
ERROR pulse_audio.cc:269 [pause]: pa_stream_cork() failed: Entität nicht vorhanden
ERROR pulse_audio.cc:269 [pause]: pa_stream_cork() failed: Entität nicht vorhanden

This was not a problem with pulseaudio.

FEDORA-2021-41bc11dd99 with pipewire-0.3.27-1.fc34 does not solve the remaining issue
