Hello, I am quite new to Linux so please bear with me.
I have several entries in the logfiles but I want to start with the error of pipewire as this seems to be the most understandable to me.
the output with journalctl -err | grep “pipewire”
Sep 12 07:39:33 fedora pipewire-media-session[1459]: can’t make factory instance: file or directory not found
i get this error on my Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 with AMD Ryzen 4800
does anyone have an idea where I could fix this error.
Many greetings
Hello and I would like to get back to you after my vacation to track down the pipewire-media-session error.
I have checked all the paths that are provided for it and can’t find any inconsistencies there.
I have here the log of

and unfortunately it can’t find any path, would appreciate help as I am stuck with this problem.
the directory /user/share/pipewire and /etc/pipewire contain the same .conf files
I am a little perplexed I must say.
many greetings

My initial thoughts are that it appears both those are currently disabled so you have to manually start them before you can use audio. You may want to enable both (so they start automatically):
sudo systemctl enable pipewire.service
sudo systemctl enable pipewire-pulse.servicethen reboot and try again to see if things work better.
Hello and thank you for the reply.
Unfortunately I get an error message
Failed to enable unit: Unit file pipewire.service does not exist.
Failed to enable unit: Unit file pipewire-pulse.service does not exist.
Can you check pipewire.conf in /etc/pipewire/ and /usr/share/pipewire/ for:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#No_devices_detected_after_PipeWire_update_and_reboot_(git_/_>=0.3.23)
If you haven’t made any customizations the configuration files should be in /usr/share/pipewire , Pipewire config files just disappeared? - #2 by ersen
The simplest thing to do may end up being to move all of the *.conf files out of /etc/pipewire and /usr/share/pipewire and reinstall with sudo dnf reinstall pipewire pipewire-pulseaudio

I have done everything but the error in the log remains.
It is also important to mention that the audio devices work without problems.

I will currently learn to live with it and wait for Fedora 35 and also hope for kernel 5.14 because I also get other errors shown in the log, which are probably related to the hardware of the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 AMD Ryzen 4800.
Thanks again and I will get back to you when the 35 is final.
Translated with DeepL Translate: The world's most accurate translator (free version)
35 is available now by doing a system-upgrade. I have no problems with it and it does have the 5.14 kernel.
Has it released as a STABLE though?
No, it has not even released as Beta, yet. Fedora 35 Beta is scheduled for Sep 28.
Thanks anyway, because it worked
Hooray
there are now other error messages present but by far less…
But for this I will open another topic.
Many greetings

True, I am using the branched version and so far have seen no problems with about about a month of use.
Kernel is 5.14.1 and pipewire is 0.3.36.
no coredumps ?
see under:
/var/lib/systemd/coredump
upgraded today and initial problems with:
No, no errors of any kind that I have noted.
Running Fedora 35 (branched) with nvidia drivers from rpmfusion. System has been rock solid so far.
