After upgrading to Fedora 35, audio will stop in when I move ahead or back?
For example, if I am playing a video and I move the progress bar back 1 minute, the video will go back, but the audio will stop.
What to hear the chorus of a song again? Nope. The audio will stop as soon as I click on progress bar. Want to skip the commercial in a podcast? Nope. The audio will stop as soon as I skip a head 30 seconds.
This happens in all apps: Gnome Videos, Lollipop music player, VLC, Gnome Podcasts, etc.
If I start a song/podcast/video from the very beginning, and don’t touch it, the audio will work. Pause also works.
I am guessing this is an issue with the new WirePlumber. Is there a LUA script I could edit to fix this?

In case this helps, systemctl --user status pipewire:

Could you please give us more infos as :
inxi -Fzx in terminal and post the output as </> Preformatted text here.
It looks like it worked with pipewire media session in F34?

@ilikelinux Thanks for the quick response. Yes, it worked in F34. I’ll try switching to pipewire-media-session.

Switching to pipewire-media-session doesn’t fix the problem. It might only affect applications that use gstreamer, as Firefox and Brave seem to be OK. Others are having the same problem, see this thread:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/erratic-audio-in-fedora-35/71826/5
Since I was able to recreate the problem on a second computer, I will file a bug report.

I’m experiencing that same problem on Fedora 35 Silverblue using Gnome Videos. Any movement of the tracking indicator stops audio, but videos keep playing.
