Sounds source needs changing to get sound to work

ianwood · August 18, 2024, 1:23pm

Hi, I have been using Kinoite for a month or so and I have found that sound frequently stops working, typically after leaving one Google Meet and joining a new one.

To get sound working again I need to change source from say “Zone Plus Receiver” to “Speaker” and back again.

How do I stop this happening?

Added pipewire

This is odd. First start by giving us a ton more infos.

output of kinfo
what machine
what speakers shown in audio panel
what speakers shown in lspci and maybe lsusb
what fedora version, since when
where does this happen? “Google meet” is not clear, what browser, did you test on other browsers? You can for example layer Chromium or Brave rpm-ostree install chromium (my brave guide)

Its a Dell Precision 5770 connected to a WD19 Dock and the sound I want is via Logitech headphones via the Zone Plus Receiver.

Its Kinoite and the latest version.

I only tend to use Firefox as with Chrome screen sharing doesn’t work as well with Google Meet. Much of my day spent in Google Meets and the sound is working fine and when I leave that meeting and join another sometimes the sound doesn’t work and I need to change sources.

I never had this issue with Manjaro or KDE Neon so I suspect something to do with Kinoite.

Thanks for helping @boredsquirrel

boredsquirrel · August 18, 2024, 7:07pm

Added bluetooth, firefox

imgreen · August 19, 2024, 1:41pm

Hey! Just thought I’d add I’ve in the past day started getting the same issue.
It requires me switching between two devices to get it to play again, no media will play until I do this.

fastfetch -l none as kinfo is not available for gnome.

Audio is attempting to be played through my focusrite dac, same issue appears to be happening with all audio sources shown.

NOTE: i just realised this wasnt for gnome, would it be prefered I started a new thread?

grumpey · August 19, 2024, 4:13pm

Are you both using the same browser?

When the problem is occurring what is the output the output of:
systemctl --user --no-pager status wireplumber pipewire* | sed "s/$(hostname)/ahost/"
``
you could also look at:
journalctl -b --no-hostname --user -u wireplumber -u pipe\*

ianwood · August 19, 2024, 8:16pm

Thanks Joe for the commands to try.

I am using Firefox, Chrome doesn’t work as well for Google Meet screen sharing via Wayland.

I have had to restart as the network stopped working (I will make a separate post for that) but I ran your suggestions for reference.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that when the sound stops working the video of my camera stops updating in Google Meet, i.e. I notice there is a problem as my video stops. I toggle sound source and it works again.
