Audio becomes distorted/low quality when the microphone is active in Ubuntu 24.04 with PipeWire #sound #microphone #pipewire #wireplumber
#Wireplumber
Only able to access audio through Bluetooth after installing pipewire 1.0.7 and wireplumber #sound #bluetooth #pulseaudio #alsa #wireplumber
The auto brightness added in 0.51 saw some improvements. We now remember a user set offset across reboots and also compensate for night light automatically (as contrast is reduced under red shift at low brightness for the human 👁️).
We also fixed several bugs in volume control selection related to new #pipewire and #wireplumber versions.
There's a bunch of other improvements like "Settings" button in the caffeine quick settings status page that takes you right to the plugin config. Most of the work for this happened in mobile settings and we'll reuse that for other plugins too.

Turns out I'm not the only one currently with Bluetooth problems on Linux. The latest WirePlumber version 0.5.13 introduces a new auto-switch to headset profiles for Bluetooth headsets, which crashes my Jabra Headset from work but not my Google Pixel Buds Pro 2.
The workaround for the moment is either downgrading to 0.5.12 or disabling the new auto-switch feature with the following:
```
wpctl settings -s bluetooth.autoswitch-to-headset-profile false
```
(Taken from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgnome-volume-control/-/issues/34#note_2645091)
The `-s` persists this change - otherwise I'd have to remember setting this after every login.

I made a call for help regarding Pipewire recently. And got some retoots. Thx for that.
Sadly i have to push that issue again.
I run Open Sound Meter which comes as an AppImage.
Issue:
Somehow OSM doesn't connect to Pipewire but to the audio interface directly. So it doesn't show up in the pw patchbay.
There was a suggestion to configure pipewire-alsa. I found zero helpful information on that matter. Just the general documentation that lists a lot but tutors not so much.
Any hint appreciated.

And lastly I wanted to mention "Cable". A graphical GUI for managing #PipeWire and #WirePlumber. An amazing piece of software. Simple but so important! Having the basic audio settings like sample-rate or offset and restarting the system-d services at hand. Latter has sadly been needed with my old interface, because it did not get detected by WirePlumber after Stand-By. (3/3)
Dear #linuxaudio friends, what are your thoughts on my dream of a new #pipewire / #wireplumber app? 🤔
https://amadeuspaulussen.com/blog/2026/a-new-pipewire-and-wireplumber-app
Something that I've noticed is that when you use PipeWire and start playing something, e.g. a youtube clib in Firefox, then PipeWire auto connects some sources with some sinks. Sometimes this works fine, but sometimes it just does the wrong thing, and when you disconnect and route it manually it keeps doing it the wrong way.
I'm thinking this has to do with WirePlumber doing the wrong things (for whatever reason). Have you seen this before? What can you do about it?
For distros using recent #pipewire and #wireplumber: We've released #phosh 0.52.1 to fix a crash in gvc when switching to #bluetooth output: https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.52.1/
Why does my 3.5mm #Apple #EarPods not work with my #SteamDeck lol, shouldn't these wired things be PnP?
edit: welp, dats the most #Linux shit ever but the fix was to delete a #wireplumber dir lol ~/.local/state/wireplumber. A restart after that fixes it.

@phosh #wireplumber 0.5.13 containing the necessary changes was released a couple of days ago 🙏 and is already in #Debian 🙏 so I built #feedbackd with `DEB_BUILD_PROFILES=pkg.feedbackd.media-roles`, installed the result and from a quick test is seems to be working nicely.
The next #pipewire release will fix a bug regarding volume restore with media roles and hopfully we can then looking into turning this on by default in #phosh afterwards.
I recently joined Brodie Robertson on the TechOverTea podcast to discuss #WirePlumber and its journey from Automotive Grade Linux back in 2018 to becoming the standard session manager across major distros today. We talked about key decisions like the use of Lua and the Lua-to-JSON config transition, as well as many other topics.
Enjoy listening and let me know what more you'd like me to talk about in the future!
#feedbackd now ships a media role configuration to separate audio volumes but it is not installed by default yet as this will need #wireplumber 0.5.13 to work properly. You can try it out by building feedbackd with the -Dmedia-roles=true option. Feedback appreciated (pun intended 🙃).
feedbackd-device-themes improves support for the Google Pixel 3A XL
and gmobile adds support for the #Fairphone 6.
Ouch! What distro are you running?
I'm on #Debian #KDE. not sure if it comes with #pipewire &#wireplumber. But will test with my headset.
My laptop from work runs #Ubuntu 24.04 with #PipeWire. Hooked up my RME Digiface USB to check out if that works with PipeWire but even the Pro profile stays quiet. So I cobbled together a #WirePlumber configuration that maps channel 33 and 34 (the phones output) to Front Left and Front Right. This works but I quickly get weird phasing and ringing audio. I suspect this is related to the bus topology of the Dell Pro 14 Premium, everything sits on one single bus.
With some #wireplumber changes landing we're a big step closer to enabling separate volume controls for things like media, alerts, alarms, etc. in #Phosh. Here's a short overview on the current state: https://phosh.mobi/posts/role-based-routing/
The first day of the @gstreamer Conference is here and there are already big decisions to make!
Will you catch Julian Bouzas' talk at 13:15 UTC on WirePlumber challenges or Daniel Morin''s talk on advancing GstAnalytics? Also at 13:15 UTC.
There are no wrong answers, enjoy the conference!

🐱 Yet another step to package my camera-related stuff in @alpinelinux@fosstodon.org / @postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems.
Now it's cosmetic change to #wireplumber package that enables gobject introspection.
Now I can build #pipetap without hardcoded bindings

Am Anfang hatte ich noch Probleme, da nach einem Standby ein unangenehmer lauter Dauerton ertönte. Bei Version edge wie auch bei v25.06. Ich konnte das nach etwas probieren lösen. Ich habe an den standby.service von #systemd zwei Zeilen ExecStartPre eingefügt. Ein "stop wireplumber" für den --user service und ein "sleep 2" das #wireplumber wirklich aus ist. Dann noch ein --user Service der nach dem Standby wireplumber wieder starter. En voila, das Geräusch ist weg.
Jetzt läuft es richtig gut.
