Thanks for reminding us of wiki pages on sound, pulse-audio and sound troubleshooting.
I checked the pages on sound troubleshooting, which are largely not up to date and most of actions/commands there are no longer required. Any wiki pages on sound issues written before F34 in 2021 (Pipewire became a default media server) need to be checked for relevance.
So, we still need to filter top solutions on the topic in Ask Fedora.
Compared with audio issues related to sound card (plus other external devices and pro audio equipment), media server and Pipewire sub packages, I reckon plugins and codec issues have different troubleshooting paths.
Plug-ins and codec pages require reviews independently of audio issues (a category on its own).
If I oversimplify two categories,
- Plug-ins and codec: resolved by installing additional packages. Debugging not usually required.
- Audio issues: multiple levels of issue identification required (hardware, configuration) and understanding on Pipewire. You need to run debugging in some cases.
