Fedora 41 sound working only on external monitor

I do also have this problem, as in when I boot up and my external monitor is not connected, I need to mute and unmute the audio so the speakers are working on my laptop.

But even after that, if I connect my external monitor, the laptop speakers will not work and won’t show up in the sound settings, unless I manually change the profile.

I’m not sure the two problems are connected necessarily.

I didn’t have these issues on Fedora 40 though. Neither on kernel 6.11, because I tried it on Fedora 40 before updating to Fedora 41 beta.

They closed the issue on pipewire’s gitlab. Probably this will be solved on the next update. Let’s hope!

Added f41

The latest update to pipewire, to version 1.2.5, resolved the issue for me.
