I tried replacing pipewire with pulseaudio by issuing "sudo dnf

not allowed.
"mutter" is basically the rendering engine for "gnome-shell" which
explains the dependencies. pulseaudio is deprecated now, pipewire
is what should be used going forward.
Pipewire doesn't work. It was videos not playing without audio muted
that started this thread. And from what I've seen on the net there is
potentially a lot of manual configuration required to get pipewire to
work, so my view on what I'm seeing is pipewire is not exactly stable.
Clearly pipewire *is* working for the vast majority of people with no
configuration required. I didn't even notice the transition. If you
look online, you are most likely going to find the people that are
having trouble because all the ones that are working have no reason to
post. And often the reason it's not working is because of messing
with the configs.
I also can't remove pulseaudio because pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
want to remove Gnome-shell.
Considering that I have gnome-shell installed without that package,
it's not actually required. You need to look at the dependency
messages to see what's causing the problem.
The message was "pulseaudio-module-bluetooth can't be removed because it
would remove protected package gnome-shell". The equivalent package in
pipewire had exactly the same issue.
I've just gotten back on after a fresh install, because I tried a
suggestion in an earlier thread to remove packages by passing
dependencies and removed pulseaudio and after doing that and rebooting
both Gnome and KDE refused to start.
I installed F36 from a live cd and it installed both pipewire and
pulseaudio and configured the system to use pulseaudio, and youtube
videos play properly with sound.
After installing F36 I tried using dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire, but
that refused to proceed complaining pulseaudio couldn't be replaced by
pipewire because that process wanted to uninstall gnome-shell.
I've upgraded to F37 and the youtube videos are still playing properly,
I haven't verified yet whether pulseaudio is still installed, but I'm
assuming it is given the gnome-shell issue.
I had to do the F36 and upgrade to F37 twice because the first upgrade
to F37 destroyed my system. After the first upgrade every time I didn't
anything on the desktop everything would flash.
regards,
Steve
