Description Qiyu Yan 2020-12-15 09:46:40 UTC
Description of problem:
with using pipewire-pulseaudio to take over system audio, I will lost audio after re-login, until I restart pipewire.service manually.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.3.17-3.fc33

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo swap pulseaudio pipewire-pulseaudio --allowerasing --enablerepo=updates-testing
2. sudo systemctl enable --global pipewire-pulse.socket
3. reboot, check if audio output is working
4. logout and relogin(quick enough), check if audio output is working
5. systemctl restart --user pipewire-pulse pipewire

Actual results:
In step 3, sound is working normally.
In step 4, I lost sound output.
After step 5, sound comes back.

Expected results:
Audio output will work after re-login with manual restart pipewire.

Additional info:
FYI, I am on 3.38.2, and whatever you see in Fedora 33.

And I did some small test to try to figure its reason, I would like to take a guess that if you login quickly enough that the old pipewire.service isn't killed by systemd, the old service remains (verified by checking active time). The old pipewire daemon seem to be have some trouble in this way.

FWIW, when using pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.19-2.fc33.x86_64 out of the box and without explicit enabling of pipewire-pulse.socket, everything works for me at your step 4, testing with paplay.
I also see pipewire-pulse (and pipewire and pipewire-media-session) running as my local user after logout, and the same processes are used when logging in again. And working.

It seems like pipewire-pulse.socket should be enabled globally by pipewire-pulseaudio install scripts as specified in /usr/lib/systemd/user-preset/90-default-user.preset . Your step 2 should thus not be necessary?

Perhaps try to verify if the problem still can be reproduced in your setup.

Comment 3 Wim Taymans 2021-01-22 11:12:46 UTC
I think this is fixed now in latest versions.

Comment 4 Qiyu Yan 2021-04-29 14:15:57 UTC
The problem is present, again.
