SUMMARY I am not sure if this should go here or on pipewire bugtracker, but apparently it works on GNOME based on https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/291 Problems encountered: 1. Media keys only change volume one step forward and one back, so for example if volume is set to 60 then it can be only changed between 60-70. 2. Volume status is not in sync in between popup and applet, applet is wrong when using media keys. 3. Can't change volume with mouse via applet, can be changed with mouse wheel however same problem as in 1. 4. If sound gets muted by key then unmuting only works via applet. Pipewire activated by following steps in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PipeWire pipewire 0.3.13 Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 Kernel Version: 5.8.14-zen1-1-zen OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 15.4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 4000
Hi, thanks for reporting! I have no experience with Pipewire as PulseAudio replacement yet, but I hope I can give it a try and see what's going on soon
Looking at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/298 this seems to be resolved in pipewire master. Can you confirm that?
Confirming, running pipewire master. All previously mentioned issues have ceased to manifest themselves. One issue here, when changing volume there is no feedback "pop", So, my laptop oficially switches to pipewire, whatever it changes Thanks for the heads-up.
