Package: pipewire
Version: 0.3.45-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Hi.

Since switching from pa to pipewire, there have been several problems
with sound output when starting a PC with its monitor off (HDMI monitor
with speakers) and then turning it on to log in and use the system on
the graphic console.

On 2 systems I have different behaviors :
- one with KDE doesn't display ANY audio output device.
- one with XFCE have a clickey sound / cracking noise when playing
audio.

I don't know if the 2 issues are related but I grouped them as they
appear only when booting with the monitor off and turning it on
afterward.

On KDE:
the `pactl list sinks` returns NO sink.

On XFCE:
`pactl list sinks` gives :

On XFCE the monitor is a television. No boot message from pipewire.


On KDE the monitor is a normal monitor but boot logs say:
Feb 19 09:05:06 cixi pipewire[7102]: spa.alsa: 'hdmi:0': playback open
failed: Périphérique ou ressource occupé

(Device or resource occupied)

Please check with the new version 0.3.47-1 available in sid, several
important bugs are fixed.
Otherwise, can you report these issues to upstream?

Best,
Dylan

I did as you said. Installed the sid version but the bug is still
there.

Of course. I just prefer begining with BR in the Debian BTS so that
once the bug is fixed upstream it can be quickly followed by a new
version of the package (it happened several times that I only
reported upstream and had to wait for a long time for the fix to land
in sid, not even talking about testing) :)

Sometimes DD prefer to report upstream themselves too...

Bonjour Alain,

No, I don't think you are talking about the same issue firstly reported here.
It should be better to open a new bug report.

If you are using gnome, you should have the meta package gnome-core installed?
In this case, everything should already be correctly installed, but....

pipewire-media-session is installed which should not be the case if you have
an up-to-date gnome-core. gnome-core depends on wireplumber which replace
pipewire-media-session. Do you have any reason to keep using
pipewire-media-session?
If no, please switch to wireplumber, sound should reappear.

Best,
Dylan
