Not directly related to your issue, but I use KDE and VLC on several systems, and don't have any problems getting audio using vlc and pipewire. However, using pipewire with vlc the surround channels are incorrect, and I found the easiest way to "fix" them was to tell vlc to go back to pulseaudio. I do not encounter the issue using mpv/smplayer, but I don't know which audio service mpv is using - i.e. if it isn't using pipewire it presumably would not have the issue. FWIW when I have had issues with audio it has either been due to the audio device somehow getting changed (seen rarely on a desktop using HDMI), or "something" in the audio stack crashes and I can fix it by restarting the audio services (seen rarely on a laptop). -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
