I cannot reproduce this behavior with latest master and libpipewire 1.2.7, libwireplumber 0.5.5. Can you check if the volume is updated on another audio controller like pavucontrol?

I checked and the issue persists. Playback levels do change, but no changes on the widget. I will try to attach a screenshot. wireplumber: 0.5.8 libpipewire 1.4.2 Created attachment 181249 [details]

Oops, seems like I misunderstood. Pavucontrol does show changes made with pw-cli, but the changes in pavucontrol don't cascade to the audio widget. Sorry for the spam, couldn't figure out how to edit a previous comment. (In reply to Otto from comment #4) > Oops, seems like I misunderstood.

I wanted to rule out an issue with pipewire not notifying the change in their pipewire-pulse interface, but this seems not to be the case, as pavucontrol do show the changes > Sorry for the spam, couldn't figure out how to edit a previous comment. Don't worry. Unfortunately current bugzilla interface doesn't allow to edit comments |
SUMMARY Changing PipeWire node channel volumes on the CLI doesn't update the volume widget. If we run pw-cli e 119 Props we can see that moving the slider changes the channelVolumes property, but not vice versa. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Play some audio in the background 2. Find the ID of the PipeWire node playing said audio with pw-cli list-objects Node 3. Run pw-cli s <node_id> Props '{ mute: false, channelVolumes: [ 1.0, 1.0 ] }' , substituting node_id with your node ID OBSERVED RESULT Open the audio widget and notice how the audio slider for the application hasn't moved even though volume levels have changed EXPECTED RESULT The audio slider(s) should have moved to represent the new values.
