lost front speaker and headset

[briner]

Describe the bug Since the upgrade to silverblue 40, I'm not able to use the front speaker as they are not listed any more. I also lost the ability to use a jack's headset.

Fortunately, I can still use my bluetooth headset.

To Reproduce I've no idea on how to downgrade silverblue to 39 to test the front speaker

Expected behavior Able to choose the front speaker or the jack's headet

Additional context

I've no idea which cli command I should write to list the "audio device". I've put some commands here, in case of.

I had a similar issue and for me the pipewire user instance was not able to start due to older (incompatible) configuration.

Can you make sure that the user instances are started?

$ systemctl --user -t socket,service | grep pipewire
  pipewire-pulse.service                            loaded active running   PipeWire PulseAudio
  pipewire.service                                  loaded active running   PipeWire Multimedia Service
  pipewire-pulse.socket                             loaded active running   PipeWire PulseAudio
  pipewire.socket                                   loaded active running   PipeWire Multimedia System Sockets

Thanks for your help, but it did not work out :(

systemctl --user -t socket,service | grep pipewire | sed 's|^|  # |'
  #   pipewire-pulse.service                              loaded active running PipeWire PulseAudio
  #   pipewire.service                                    loaded active running PipeWire Multimedia Service
  #   pipewire-pulse.socket                               loaded active running PipeWire PulseAudio
  #   pipewire.socket                                     loaded active running PipeWire Multimedia System Sockets

Hum, then I think it's probably best to report that to pipewire, either upstream or in Bugzilla.

I've used a live usb key with fedora39 and fedora40. And both of them provides me the front speaker and the headset.

Quite strange, as I thought that silverblue 40 was really close to fedora 40

I'll open a case on pipewire then !

I've also try to list the audio sink with some pipewire commands. And it feels that I only get the HDMI one

pw-cli ls | grep -i "sink" -B 11 | sed 's|^|  # |'
  #     id 46, type PipeWire:Interface:Node/3
  #         object.serial = "50"
  #         object.path = "alsa:pcm:0:hdmi:0:playback"
  #         factory.id = "18"
  #         client.id = "40"
  #         device.id = "41"
  #         priority.session = "696"
  #         priority.driver = "696"
  #         node.description = "Audio interne Stéréo numérique (HDMI)"
  #         node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.hdmi-stereo"
  #         node.nick = "HDMI 0"
  #         media.class = "Audio/Sink"

If it works with Fedora Workstation 40 then it's super weird and could be a cache or config issue.

You know what ?

When pressing "audio up", the system was augmenting the hdmi output.

So after your message, I launched the sound preferences. And then I've plugged an HDMI cable.

Suddenly, the "front speaker" appeared.

I've choose this new output, unplugged the hdmi, made some sound test, restarted my laptop.

And everything come back to normal.

I'm a bit puzzled. But it worked !
