Every-time after booting the audio is very low. If i right click on the “Sound preference Applet” and mute and unmute the audio again, a higher audio level is back (I use mate-desktop).
The problem appeared just lately. The kernel on my inxi -Fzx
is showing the latest kernel i do have installed.
The newest kernel is Linux 5.15.4-201.fc35.x86_64

Will you try wireplumber
dnf swap pipewire-media-session wireplumber
systemctl --user --now disable pipewire-media-session
systemctl --user --now enable wireplumber

Why are you assuming that wireplumber is not running?

I’m not reporting about a new installation or an major update. I just observed this problem lately and also on the laptop where I run Fedora-Linux 35 with a Mate-Desktop too.

With the newest kernel (5.15.5-200) the problem not exists anymore.

coming back to this, I just started Alsamixer and noticed the max is 55 instead of 100. Is this normal? I didn’t change anything

You can increase the volume if it helps, but note on the top of the bar it gets red. Could be annoyingly loud for a system who works perfect.
P.S.
Did you apply the lately released update of Alsa?

just a little heads up. The volume still didn’t was as loud as my Windows partition so I had a second look at Alsamixer and the main Master was at 100 but after selecting my sound card the Master on the very left was at 55. After maxing everything it’s finally perfect!
