Description of problem: Log out followed by a fast login with the same user breaks audio device recognition. Problem can be reproduced with Wayland and Xorg session mode. Maybe pipewire is not to blame. Maybe this can be a pointer: in the past when a user logs out from her session only some 20 seconds later systemd was closing the session. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pipewire-0.3.25-1.fc34.x86_64 How reproducible: always, if you are fast Steps to Reproduce: 1. log in to a GNOME session; audio devices are recognized, see GNOME settings -- Audio 2. log out from that session 3. be very quick to log in again with the same account to a GNOME session again Actual results: no audio device (microphone and speaker) recognized, see GNOME settings -- Audio Expected results: audio devices recognized Additional info: If you wait 20 seconds after log out, on re-login the audio devices are recognized.
20 seconds is NOT enough here. $ rpm -q pipewire pipewire-0.3.27-1.fc34.x86_64
