Description of problem: After installation of pipewire-pulseaudio, the audio is missing from the system tray area of the panel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): plasma-workspace-5.20.4-1.fc33.x86_64 pipewire-0.3.18-1.fc33.x86_64 pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.18-1.fc33.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo dnf --allowerasing swap pulseaudio pipewire-pulseaudio 2. Log out and log in to a Plasma session again. Actual results: No audio control in the system tray. (Pavucontrol seems to still work.) Expected results: An audio control as before. Additional info: The same problem apparently appeared in Gnome too, see bug 1912062.
Triaging to plasma-pa component
Um, is plasma-pa even installed anymore? Pretty sure it still has a hard dependency on pulseaudio still (on f33), so it getting removed would certainly explain why the applet is not showing.
FYI, you'll need (at least) plasma-pa-5.20.4-2.fc33 to test this properly
And, apparently, pipewire-pulseaudio isn't enabled by default on f33 (probably should be), so I also needed to do: systemctl enable --user --now pipewire-pulse Then, I see the audio applet working on my f33 box.
FEDORA-2021-29d7d49890 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 33. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-29d7d49890
FEDORA-2021-29d7d49890 has been pushed to the Fedora 33 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
Checking the DNF history, plasma-pa was indeed removed as part of the swap transaction from pulseaudio to pipewire-pulseaudio. I didn't realise that was the system tray control, but after installing plasma-pa-5.20.4-2.fc33.x86_64 it is indeed back. Thanks for a very quick analysis and fix! The missing activation of pipewire-pulseaudio mentioned in comment 4 I believe is a small mistake in the packaging, see bug 1912520.
