Audio broke on fedora 40 (Kde spin Update: removing Pulseaudio and running Plasma-pa helped ty for the nice comments tho)

Is your audio server running? I assume it’s pipewire on Fedora 40.

This must be a pulse audio command.

Try reinstalling pipewire using:

dnf reinstall pipewire

See if that fixes your problem

Error: No packages marked for reinstall.

Maybe try with kpipewire.

But also check audio in the kde settings maybe they got misconfigured.

Congrats! : D

If you have time, maybe share the solution so future people can check and fix it themselves.

Wait, did you replace pipewire-pulse with pulseaudio?

Mwa OP , 7 hours ago

i think i installed it on top i thought its gonna solve the problem but after a restart it made it worse

Pipewire-pulse (or whatever the package is called) is the drop-in replacement for pulseaudio that makes apps, that normally use pulseaudio, use pipewire instead. You can’t have both installed. You can have pipewire and pulseaudio installed at the same time but your system can only use one of them at a time.
