Thanks for reporting. Sound control also not available in GNOME Shell as well with pipewire. (In reply to Artem from comment #1) > Thanks for reporting. Sound control also not available in GNOME Shell as > well with pipewire. As of now, the Audio Icon and Volume control are back to normal. $pactl info Server String: /run/user/1000/pulse/native Library Protocol Version: 34 Server Protocol Version: 34 Is Local: yes Client Index: 51 Tile Size: 65472 User Name: sf Host Name: dell33wks Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.18) Server Version: 14.0.0 Default Sample Specification: float32le 2ch 48000Hz Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right Default Sink: alsa_output.pci-0000:00:1b.0.analog-stereo Default Source: alsa_input.pci-0000:00:1b.0.analog-stereo Cookie: 4192:94a0 Possible changes between now and then: 1. Some updates installed by dnf update 2. two new test users created, one by useradd, one by Gnome Settings. Not sure if they matter or not. Still no volume icon here unfortunately :( Is there anything I can share here to help debugging? Thanks You may need to enable the service, running systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse before and after the following the command will highlight if that's the issue: systemctl --user enable pipewire-pulse --now At my Desktop machine, I installed pipewire-pulse. Same issue. Sound is working while Audio icon and Volume control are gone. After serveral reboots, create new user, logon new user, etc. No improvement. Then I goto Sound Testing, and switch output (Between HDMI / SPDIF). And magic, I notice the Audio Icon and Volume control are both back. (With an extra Mic volume icon also.) I am trying to reproduce all these in a VM guest now. 1. Fresh install of F33 work 2. sudo dnf update 3. reboot, 4. note Audio icon / Volume Control / sound output / pactl info all normal 5. sudo dnf install --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio 6. reboot A. On the logon screen, Audio Icon is gone. Click on the Power Menu, no Volume Control B. After logon, the Audio Icon is back and Volume Control is back on the Power Menu. (But the test sound of "Front Right" / "Frong Left" is very jerky under pipewire-pulseaudio, while under pulseaudio is normal. in the same VM guest) (In reply to Sampson Fung from comment #6) > 1.

(And test sound still not acceptable.) After another reboot, Audio Icon / Volume Control are both back again. > After one more reboot, the Audio Icon / Volume Control are both gone again. > (And test sound still not acceptable.) > After another reboot, Audio Icon / Volume Control are both back again. As workaround try: $ pkill pipewire I'm also missing the volume control and my volume keys don't work after replacing PulseAudio with Pipewire in Fedora 33. I do have audio, and I can adjust the volume under Settings>Sound. This is otherwise a bog standard Workstation install. 'pkill pipewire' doesn't seem to help bring anything back. Okay, kind of strange: I connected a USB audio device, and the volume control came back and my volume keys work again. Even after disconnecting the USB audio device and rebooting several times, I now have the regular audio applet and working volume keys even with just the internal audio. If it goes away again, what are some helpful troubleshooting steps and logs I could collect to pinpoint what's happening? For now, I'll hope this is just resolved for me and I can recommend to anyone having this issue to try connecting some USB audio device to see if it triggers something. |
