Hellooo everyone,

For a while now I’ve had this issue on Fedora 43, where I can not switch output anymore from my headphones to my speakers. I have to keep one device unplugged at all times.

From Quick Settings if I click speakers nothing happens, and from Settings the UI changes to speakers but the output continues to play on the headphones. Additionally, The GNOME Settings app sometimes becomes unresponsive or crashes after several attempts to switch.

System Environment

  • Hardware: Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller (Realtek ALC887-VD)
  • Kernel Driver: snd_hda_intel
  • Versions:
    • pipewire-1.4.10-1.fc43.x86_64
    • wireplumber-0.5.13-1.fc43.x86_64
  • Hardware: AMD Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller

These are all the logs I have:
