Description of problem: On Fedora 33, I'm trying out pipewire in anticipation of Fedora 34 stabilizing and upgrading. I ran sudo dnf swap --allowerasing pulseaudio pipewire-pulseaudio systemctl --user daemon-reload killall pulseaudio systemctl --user enable pipewire.service pipewire.socket pipewire-pulse.service pipewire-pulse.socket I then logged out and logged back in and audio wasn't working for me (Spotify from Flathub, Firefox from Fedora repos playing videos - nothing produced audio). I ran systemctl --user status pipewire pipewire-pulse And I noticed that the pid for /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse was newer than the pid for /usr/bin/pipewire but older than /usr/bin/pipewire-media-session. When I ran pipewire-media-session from a terminal, audio worked, so I restarted pipewire-pulse.service and audio works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.3.24 How reproducible: Every time the services start on login so far Steps to Reproduce: 1. Swap pulseaudio for pipewire-audio 2. Enable pipewire related services with systemctl 3. Log out and back in and observe audio not working; restart pipewire-pulse.service to get audio working Actual results: Audio doesn't work by default Expected results: Audio just works Additional info:
I think this can be fixed by altering /usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.service to include Wants=pipewire.service After=pipewire.service In the [Unit] section.

I have pushed this upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/commit/78db493d0d4659e8b3cc21df5818f66c27ed17bb
Thank you! I've been running with that patch and my audio has been flawless across restarts!
