Hello,

I’m trying to install paprefs on my fedora silverblue 40, but Ingot this issue when I try to install it with:

rpm-ostree install paprefs

error: Could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected:
 Problem: package pulseaudio-module-gsettings-16.1-7.fc40.x86_64 from fedora requires pulseaudio(x86-64) = 16.1-7.fc40, but none of the providers can be installed

I use these repo:

fedora-cisco-openh264 updates fedora rpmfusion-free-updates rpmfusion-free rpmfusion-nonfree-updates rpmfusion-nonfree rpmfusion-nonfree-steam copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:phracek:PyCharm rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver tailscale-stable updates-archive

Do you know a way to install it on silverblue ?

Thanks for your help

seems as if that first package needs an outdated version of pulseaudio that is not longer in the repos.

Please file a bug on that package

I recommend taking a look at the pipewire native alternatives:

Thanks, I will check it. I was just looking for a way to stream audio though 3.5 jack and bluetooth at the same time.

I’m not sur this is an issue with paprefs, cause I try in a fedora container with dnf install paprefs and worked with no issue.

I will try to dig further,

Thanks

I looked for the same thing.

It should work with a pipewire patchbay. Output the audio through 2 outputs at one time.
