I hit the same issue for the second time, therefore I strike coincidence.

I have machine upgraded from F34 to F35 (and actually upgraded every 6 month from Fedora-I-dunno). And after the upgrade I do not see the sound devices. Therefore there is no sound.

For the first time it magically started working after some time - I have done zilions of things and I am not sure what makes it work.

Now I have a second notebook where it does not work, and nothing what I have done on the first machine helped so far.

I am asking here, because I am really not sure what component is causing it (pipewire, KDE, something else).

Some data:

* selinux is out as it happens even in permissive mode

* it is KDE environment (I cannot try  Gnome)

* systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse.service

  does not help. And status shows, that it is active and running

* pactl info shows:

... PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.38
...

Default Sink: @DEFAULT_SINK@

Default Target: @DEFAULT_SOURCE@

and when I manually run "wireplumber" it shows:

Default Sink: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
Default Source: alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

and the devices appear in KDE and I can play a sound.


Any hints, please?
