freedesktop.org Gitlab pipewire pipewire issues 3148 0 None opened Upgrading pipewire-audio from 0.3.67 to 0.3.68 causes unwanted sound from laptop speakers 2023-04-11 15:53:24 UTC

Description Nils Philippsen 2023-04-11 15:53:25 UTC
Description of problem:
No sound is output on startup, neither through laptop speakers nor headphones. After plugging in headphones and unplugging them, sound is output through speakers. Headphones stay silent no matter what I do.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pipewire-0.3.68-1.fc38.x86_64
kernel-6.2.10-300.fc38.x86_64

How reproducible:
Reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system and log in
2. Do something that would normally output sound, e.g. run a music player
3. Plug in headphones
4. Unplug headphones

Actual results:
No sound through speakers after step 2, no sound in headphones after step 3. After unplugging the headphones, speakers output sound again. 

Expected results:
Sound is output through speakers or headphones, depending on if the latter are connected.

Additional info:
I looked through upstream issues and the (gut feeling) closest match seems to be https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/3148 even though the symptoms described there are kind of the opposite of what I experience: sound through speakers when headphones are connected.

I played around with alsamixer and found that unmuting my headphone brings sound back there, but the GNOME/Pipewire controls still modify the speaker and master channels (only when the latter is affected does the volume in the headphones change).

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2023-04-11 15:58:38 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 38-final by Fedora user nphilipp using the blocker tracking app because:

 This bug violates the beta release criterion of "working sound" and was only introduced in the recent update to pipewire-0.3.68.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2023-04-11 16:09:39 UTC
0.3.68-1 is not in stable for F38 and does not have any FE or blocker proposal related to it, so there's no reason for this to be a blocker.

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2023-04-11 16:10:06 UTC
You might want to give the update negative karma:

Comment 4 Wim Taymans 2023-04-11 16:11:28 UTC
I have unpushed the updates until we figure out what is going on (Or I have to revert the UCM changes).

Yeah, I started doing that but then kept piling things (upstream ticket, this here, testing) on my mental stack πŸ˜€. As the update is unpushed I gather I don’t need to add negative karma to it, right?

Not really, but it might still help us explain/remember *why* it got unpushed in future, I guess :D
