In the meantime, you can downgrade by adding the 0.3.68 repository:

sudo apt-manage add popdev:pipewire-0.3.68
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

Remove it at a later time to upgrade

sudo apt-manage remove popdev-pipewire-0.3.68

Hi, I'm not @oscardoso but I've had the Dummy Output issue since the last Pipewire update and this fixed it. I asked for support here last night. Thanks to @runboy93 who brought your solution to my attention.

[oscardoso]

First of all thanks to everyone involved for being so quick!

@n3m0-22, I confirm that it fixed my problem.

I am having a similar issue as OP. My audio deos not work in certain Steam games. This behavior started from an update last week. Someone on the PopOS subreddit suggested the fix above and it did not work. I noticed that there was an update for pipewire today so I removed the "fix" and tried the update. Still no dice.

Hello, I am running the latest version 0.3.70 and PopOS 22.04, but my audio is not working.

Apr 30 11:47:29 pop-os systemd[2992]: Started PipeWire Multimedia Service. Apr 30 11:47:39 pop-os pipewire[4587]: mod.rt: RTKit error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs Apr 30 11:47:39 pop-os pipewire[4587]: mod.rt: could not set nice-level to -11: Input/output error

Do we need to open a new issue? Or we can reopen this one? Can you help me?

I think they will release System76-Scheduler 2.0 very soon (they told something about monday update), there is something interesting for Pipewire (process priorities changes for audio/video servers and kernel auto-group feature disabled)

https://www.phoronix.com/news/System76-Scheduler-2.0

Try that and if still nothing for audio, then create new ticket but I would also recommend to do ticket to upstream:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire

[clebermasters]

Thanks, RunBoy93. I opened a new issue on FreeDesktop. Also, I will keep watching this new release.

[clebermasters]

Just for an update. I have updated System76-Scheduler 2.0, but the audio doesn't work. I have no trouble using USB headphones to listen to audio. However, I am experiencing issues with the sound coming from the speakers.

The OS looks like that recognizes my sound card, only the sound doesn't go out to the speakers.
