std::runtime_error: Could not find pipewire alsa monitor config file

[yochananmarqos]

The default config file for pipewire-alsa is /etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pipewire-default.conf. I do not have a ~/.config/pipewire/ folder.

I'm using the pipecontrol 0.2.1-2 AUR package.

  what():  Could not find pipewire alsa monitor config file!
zsh: abort (core dumped)  pipecontrol

The program is looking for another file, both on global and in the user folder. https://github.com/portaloffreedom/pipecontrol/blob/f6f9bf8bc1a2f300a6772a1fd57ce8605cea7fad/src/alsaproperties.cpp#L30-L38

The file in question is either /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/alsa-monitor.conf or ~/.config/pipewire/media-session.d/alsa-monitor.conf

Which seems to be provided by pipewire-media-session. Could it be that you are using wireplumber?

[yochananmarqos]

Ah, that's why. Yes, I'm using Wireplumber.

[portaloffreedom]

ok, I need to make the program run also with wireplumber

[portaloffreedom]

@yochananmarqos should be fixed with the new release (af6aedc96811c7d846b42d9c958929b52dc1e132 for the details)

you can reopen it if you still have the same issue :)
