Sound config Fedora 43 Gnome inoperant

Hello, good morning.

After last update I did this morning my sound config stops working. The hardware and audio are all working, but I cant control it by the gnome-control-center. See below my print:

Tryed to restart wireplumber or reinstall gnome-control-center.

```
sudo dnf reinstall gnome-control-center
```
May some help?

This looks like the same issue that others and I have been having for a few weeks now. For me it manifests as being unable to select the Line Out option for my motherboard’s audio out port.

It looks like this is a known issue, see: Sound Settings doesn’t play through analog audio outputs on GNOME 49 with PipeWire - GVC assertions fail

In the meantime, if the output device you want to use cannot be selected via the UI, try the following commands:

wpctl status

This will output all the sources/sinks WirePlumber can see. Identify the number of the sink you’d like to use.

wpctl set-default <sink_number>

This should immediately switch the output device to that sink.

Kind of a tedious workaround, sorry, but it’s been working for me. Alternatives are to downgrade the Gnome Settings application to an earlier version but that was causing different issues for me.

Yep, same issue. I will downgrade gnome-control-panel. Thank you.
Downgrading worked.
