dmesg

Description of problem:
Changing the sound output device through Gnome Control Center has no effect. Audio is always redirected to the laptop's speakers (e.g. left/right sound test or applications that redirect to the systems's default sink).

Other applications that select the audio device directly (e.g. Zoom) are able to use the additional devices.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
alsa-lib-1.2.2-1.fc32.x86_64
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.2.2-1.fc32.x86_64
alsa-ucm-1.2.2-1.fc32.noarch
alsa-utils-1.2.2-1.fc32.x86_64
gnome-control-center-3.36.0-2.fc32.x86_64
gnome-control-center-filesystem-3.36.0-2.fc32.noarch
pulseaudio-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-x11-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64
pulseaudio-utils-13.99.1-1.fc32.x86_64


How reproducible:
Since upgrading from F31 to F32 Beta, always reproducible (even after reboots).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Gnome Control Center
2. Navigate to Sound option
3. Select different output devices
4. Try the sound test (left/right)

Actual results:
Audio always goes to laptop's speakers

Expected results:
Audio goes to selected device


Additional info:
This was working fine in F31 right before upgrading to F32 Beta.

Comment 3 Giovanni Tirloni 2020-03-20 14:35:14 UTC
with the latest package gnome-control-center-3.36.0-3, device selection works and the sound is redirected to the proper device.

What still doesn't work is the right/left test button. It continues to output to the laptop speakers regardless of the selected device.

Comment 4 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 16:14:54 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2021-05-25 15:48:27 UTC
Fedora 32 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-05-25. Fedora 32 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
