Issue with sound devices on F44 Beta

Ask Fedora

I’m running Kinoite and switched to F44 Beta when available. Since then I got issues with sound devices. There are none detected at all when the system boots. I’m running F44 Beta on Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7.

After some troubleshooting I found out that restarting pipeware fixes the issue systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber

Does anybody else experiencing the same issue?

pipewire version 1.6.1 might have fixed this.

# PipeWire 1.6.1 (2026-03-09)

This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with the previous
1.6.x releases.

## Highlights
  - Fix socket activation, which could cause a failure to start PipeWire in
    some setups.
