I would have thought it highly likely that since pipewire is now a thing, pulseaudio would no longer be setup on any distro released in the last couple of years.
And that’s the reason why pavucontrol doesn’t see any devices, it needs the pipewire sink/connector/driver installed so that applications expecting to communicate with pulse audio have a compatible connector. Ah, the joys of audio on Linux. It always has been a broken mess. On Thu, 9 Mar 2023 at 19:32, Peter Merchant <petermerch...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Not getting anywhere.
