F38: pipewire -> pulseaudio

[Frank Elsner]

Hello all,

I've done 
          sudo dnf swap --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio pulseaudio

But even after login pipewire seems still to be active:

# ps -ef | grep -E "pulse|pipe"
frank      19848   19503  3 18:19 ?        00:00:47 /usr/bin/pipewire
frank      19850   19503  4 18:19 ?        00:00:56 /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse

and 

# pactl stat
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused


Regards, Frank

I am not sure what you are attempting to do by trying to replace
pipewire with pulse, but you only removed the pipewire to pulseaudio
module, you did not erase any of the actual pipewire rpms, just the
module that provides pulseaudio compatibility.

What exactly did the dnf swap command say it did?

rpm -qa | grep -E "pulse|pipe" should show the current installed state.

I simply want to use pulseaudio.

Sorry, dnf output no more available.

After rebooting the system sound works. I'll investigate the case in the
next day in detail.


Thanks so far, Frank

In case you are not aware.

There are design problems in pulseaudio that pipewire fixes.

Also there is no new work going into pulseaudio all the effort
is going into pipewire.

Oh, then I'll stay with pipewire. Thanks for the info. Case closed.

I have pipewire and its pulse adapter installed (the default I think)
and pactl stat works without that error.

I assume that you have logged into your desktop and are running as the
user and not root.
