Description Alan Jenkins 2021-05-11 19:36:39 UTC 
Description of problem:

When plugging in headphones, GNOME asks whether it's a headset (or normal headphones, or whether I want to keep listening through speakers).

In Fedora 33 (with pulseaudio), it defaulted to headphones, and the prompt let me change it if I wanted.

In Fedora 34, I have to affirmatively answer "headphones".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pipewire-0.3.27-1.fc34.x86_64
gnome-shell-40.0-6.fc34.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. play music
2. insert headphones

Actual results:

Audio output prompt appears.

Expected results:

Audio switches from speakers to headphones, and audio output prompt appears.

Comment 1 Alan Jenkins 2021-05-15 13:14:38 UTC 
I tried switching back to pulseaudio (instructions below).  Then plugging in my headphones worked as expected (switching the audio output even before I answered the popup).  I don't know whether gnome-shell is missing something, or if this is a bug in pipewire.

1. sudo dnf swap --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio pulseaudio
2. Log out and back in again.

Comment 4 Benedikt Gollatz 2021-06-03 11:37:56 UTC 
On KDE, there is no dialogue letting the user select headphones as the playback port at all. Instead, one has to open the Audio section of System Settings and manually select "Headphones" as the playback device port. The playback device port switches to "Headphones (unplugged)" with audio playing from the speakers when headphones are unplugged, but plugging them in does not change the playback device port regardless of the previous setting.

Switching from pipewire-pulseaudio back to pulseaudio as indicated in comment #1 fixes the problem for me.

This is on a Dell XPS 13 9360.
