Check if you see an error while execute the following commands in terminal:

systemctl --user status "pipewire.*"
if pipewire socket and service active (running) = ok.

systemctl --user status "pipewire-pulse.*"
if pipewire-pulse socket and service active (running) = ok.

and last but not least you should see also:
systemctl --user status wireplumber

that fixed it. must have been enabling wireplumber. did not have to log out or anything.

should notify package maintainer to enable by default.
thank you :smile:

Dear @garberw,

just for the records: how have you enabled wireplumber? I encountered the same problem and added a new file as ~/.config/autostart/wireplumber.desktop with the following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/wireplumber
Icon=
Name=wireplumber
Path=
Terminal=False
Type=Application

But I wonder if there is a easier way to do…

Kind regards,

aanno

Dear aanno: do not do that please. Instead try 

systemctl --user enable --now wireplumber
. If that does not work it must be a systemwide service so omit the “–user”.

There’s also now Common F35 bugs - Fedora Project Wiki

The Bugzilla bug is 2016253 – wireplumber not enabled automatically

You should quote in all cases. Bash passes through the * if it didn’t match anything, but if there were a file that matched pipewire.* in the current directory, it would pass that name instead.
