For me audio missing sometimes after restart.

Also KDE taskbar app 'clipboard' do nothing !

looks like a pipewire problem..

Built-in Audio Digital Stereo is wrong I need "analog output"

However:
Open a mp3 in audacious > seems to play and in pavucontrol I see the play-indicator moving but
no sound output [speakers/headphones]

Normally I only have to select "analog output" in pavucontrol but that didn't work this time.
Audacious stopped playing the file like I had pressed pause and doesn't play it again.

wpctl status when set to "analog output" in pavucontrol:

Now I went into audacious audio settings and changed the output to alsa and chose my card in alsa settings.
I now have sound from audacious [but only from audacious] and the moving play-indicator in pavucontrol is gone.

Other programs like mpg123 and mpv still have no audio.


@Blaze
Will try thanks!

[ncmprhnsbl]

Try this fix for sound

Exec=/etc/pipewire/run-pipewire

one small problem with that: we don't have any such file ..
so.. i reproduced the(a) failure in with xfce in vbox .. pipewire/wireplumber failed to start ..logged out/in and then they worked.
edit: @donald something else seems to the problem for you, looks like pipewire is running just not communicating with alsa properly or smthng.

seem's to be that xdg autostart method might be a little brittle, at least the three .desktop approach that is the standard slackware method. eg. there no way to tell which order they start in, if that matters.
elsewhere i've used a script to run all three (which assume the none-existant/etc/pipewire/run-pipewire is meant to do)
or setting the pipewire.conf to run wireplumber and pipwire-pulse via the pipewire command.
from what i've seen there's quite a number of different ways to start them with little indication which is the 'best' or the 'correct' way.

@Blaze
Tried your fix - sorry, does not work
Result:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ wpctl status
Could not connect to PipeWire

and the icon says "not connected to the PulseAudio server"

[Blaze]

ncmprhnsbl, in step 3 echo generate it.

donald, damn

/etc/pipewire/run-pipewire is have

Code: Select all

chmod +x /etc/pipewire/run-pipewire

?

[donald]

@Blaze
With +x [and a reboot] it starts pipewire but the result is
the same as the original.
Built-in Audio Digital Stereo is set
and as soon as I try to set Built-in Audio Analog Stereo in
pavucontrol (gui) everything breaks.

sorry ;( didn't scroll down :p
in any case, all this does is do away with 'daemon' ("run any program as a daemon) , which might have some benefit, but, as we see doesn't help with donald's issue of pipewire not finding/setting the correct device or sink..
just for comparison, here's what my functioning output looks like:

the asterisk marks the device in use.
@donald, that using alsa directly sort of works suggests it's not a kernel driver/firmware issue..
maybe try killing pipewire|wireplumber|pipewire-pulse process after login and then restarting them (with that script should do it)

[ncmprhnsbl]

Booting:

no idea Ed, the build process for the isos is essentially the same as 5.0* .. they certainly boot as virtual disks in vbox. maybe try passing "debug" in the bootparms

[ncmprhnsbl]

Also KDE taskbar app 'clipboard' do nothing !

oops, missing dependency: zxing-cpp (barcode scanner, because everyone needs one of those)
thanks

[ncmprhnsbl]

from another topic:

slapt-mod is missing file etc\slapt-get\slapt-modrc
slapt-mod not finding intel-media-driver package needed for hardware decode on integrated intel gpu
slapt-mod not finding picom package needed for fixing screen tearing in lxqt (change "backend = "xrender";" to "backend = "glx";" in etc\picom.conf)

etc\slapt-get\slapt-modrc : oops
i'll just put this here for anyone wanting it: /etc/slapt-get\slapt-modrc

Code: Select all

## config file for slapt-mod wrapper for slapt-get
## locale ? 0 or language code eg. de (german) all others will be removed
locale=0
## man pages ? 1 keep or 0 remove
man=0
## headers ? 1 keep or 0 remove
headers=0
## docs ? 1 keep or 0 remove
docs=0

for not finding packages:
slapt-get is configured for slackel repos which has not a huge range of packages, but is at least current.
you can try configuring other repos , even 15.0 ones, some packages might work , many definately won't.
otherwise it's compile it. SBO is helpful .. and there's a current version out there somewhere ... search github for ponce..
