Description of problem: If I log out/crash gnome-shell and log back in, I have no sound and no volume controls. Currently gnome-shell seems to crashi every time I log out (bug #1944152). But don't worry about that. I should be able to choose to kill or crash gnome-shell, then log back in, and my sound should work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pipewire-0.3.27-2.fc34.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot/reboot Fedora Workstation 2. log in to gnome 3. click on the gnome top bar on the right. Notice I have a brightness slider, and a volume slider. 4. killall -9 gnome-shell 5. log in to gnome again 6. click on the gnome top bar on the right and look for the volume slider Actual results: There is no volume slider and I cannot play sound e.g. Youtube. Expected results: There is a volume slider and I can play sound. Additional info: "pactl list" still seems able to connect to pipewire-pulseaudio. You might see some errors in the log if you try to use sound: May 15 21:30:20 alan-laptop pipewire-pulse[2114]: pulse-server 0x563578f444a0: [PulseAudio Volume Control] ERROR command:87 (EXTENSION) tag:12 error:19 (Operation not supported) May 15 21:30:20 alan-laptop pipewire-pulse[2114]: pulse-server 0x563578f444a0: [PulseAudio Volume Control] ERROR command:87 (EXTENSION) tag:13 error:19 (Operation not supported) May 15 21:30:20 alan-laptop pipewire-pulse[2114]: pulse-server 0x563578f444a0: [PulseAudio Volume Control] ERROR command:87 (EXTENSION) tag:14 error:19 (Operation not supported) May 15 21:30:20 alan-laptop pipewire-pulse[2114]: pulse-server 0x563578f444a0: [PulseAudio Volume Control] ERROR command:87 (EXTENSION) tag:15 error:19 (Operation not supported) May 15 21:30:50 alan-laptop pipewire-pulse[2114]: stream 0x563578ff41c0: error no node available May 15 21:30:50 alan-laptop pipewire-pulse[2114]: pulse-server 0x563578f448a0: [Mutter] ERROR command:-1 (invalid) tag:10 error:25 (Input/output error) May 15 21:30:59 alan-laptop pipewire-pulse[2114]: stream 0x563578fa3fc0: error no node available May 15 21:30:59 alan-laptop pipewire-pulse[2114]: pulse-server 0x563578f448a0: [Mutter] ERROR command:-1 (invalid) tag:18 error:25 (Input/output error) It seems a bit weird that pipewire stayed alive even after logging out of gnome-shell. That is, after performing the above steps, I notice the pipewire instance was started long before the current gnome-shell instance: $ systemctl status --user pipewire org.gnome.Shell@wayland -n0 ● pipewire.service - Multimedia Service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2021-05-15 21:23:57 BST; 16min ago TriggeredBy: ● pipewire.socket Main PID: 2113 (pipewire) Tasks: 4 (limit: 9290) Memory: 6.7M CPU: 199ms CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user/session.slice/pipewire.service ├─2113 /usr/bin/pipewire └─2119 /usr/bin/pipewire-media-session ● org.gnome.Shell - GNOME Shell on Wayland Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/org.gnome.Shell; static) Active: active (running) since Sat 2021-05-15 21:24:42 BST; 15min ago Process: 3491 ExecCondition=/bin/sh -c test "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" = "wayland" || exit 2 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 3493 (gnome-shell) Tasks: 32 (limit: 9290) Memory: 225.7M CPU: 1min 12.530s CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user/session.slice/org.gnome.Shell ├─3493 /usr/bin/gnome-shell ├─3573 ibus-daemon --panel disable ├─3584 /usr/libexec/ibus-dconf ├─3585 /usr/libexec/ibus-extension-gtk3 └─3890 /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-simple
Sound starts working again if I run the command: systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse I checked, and I have to restart both services in order to fix sound fully: * If I only restart pipewire, it lets me go to the Sound section in gnome Settings app and play test sounds etc. * If I restart pipewire-pulse as well, that's what gets the volume control back in gnome-shell. Restarting pipewire gives a huge diff in the output of "pactl list". Before the restart, no lines contain "alsa". After the restart, I can see alsa objects. (I think this happened after just restarting pipewire? Don't think I needed to restart pipewire-pulse for this to happen).
