I have some sound problems on my f40:
1- sound works with some applications like audacious or vlc or
kaffeine
but it does not work from sources via firefox or chromium
2- I have an usb camera with a mic and this mic is not detected by
skype
for instance...
All this was working "before" (sound-web, mic) what stupidity could I
have done? And how can I correct this?
Thank you for your answer.
Obvious question: Have you rebooted?
If you've done some updates and not rebooted, that can lead to things
like that. (Other updates don't require it, that's why some people
don't notice problems after some updates.)
Of course I rebooted! When I cannot find a solution to a problem, I
always reboot with the secret hope that things will go better
afterwards...
Sound is (for me) mysterious under linux: so many settings whose meaning
is not always clear.
My problem seems to be solved and it is a mystery why! I came accross
someone's post who had the same problem as mine and an answer suggested
to check this:
systemctl --user status pipewire-pulseaudio pipewire wireplumber
I did it and I got :
Unit pipewire-pulseaudio.service could not be found
(the two others were enabled and running)
So I tried to install pipewire-pulseaudio but dnf answered that
pipewire-pulseaudio conflicted with pulseaudio. Since I had nothing to
lose I added --allowerasing and pipewire-pulseaudio was installed and...
the problem was solved. Hurray!
But the mystery remains because:
systemctl --user status pipewire-pulseaudio
still returns: "Unit pipewire-pulseaudio.service could not be found"
But it is installed:
rpm -qa | grep pulseaudio returns:
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.2.12-1.fc40.x86_64
vlc-plugin-pulseaudio-3.0.21-15.fc40.x86_64
xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin-0.4.9-1.fc40.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-16.1-8.fc40.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-16.1-8.fc40.x86_64
pulseaudio-utils-16.1-8.fc40.x86_64
pipewire-pulseaudio-1.0.9-1.fc40.x86_64
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Who can understand this!
Anyway thank you! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the problem
doesn't return...
