#wireplumber — Public Fediverse posts

Hey #KDE

I have a computer in my woodshop with #Bluetooth. It also plays music out of its normal line out jack into a little radio. It's running KDE Plasma (obviously, or I would not be tagging you) on #Debian.

I just bought a set of Bluetooth hearing protection earmuffs, cause my new table saw is not the quiet, almost musical beast that the Sawstop was. Granted, it doesn't sound angry like my first, bad-decision table saw. Just hungry and wormy. Yes, I should have been using hearing protection all along. I learn slow.

Anyways, the behavior that I would like to get is, I play music on the computer and it always comes out the speaker into the room in general. When I turn on the Bluetooth muffs, I would like it to connect to the Bluetooth PC and start receiving the same stream going into the external speaker.

When I take turn them off, I would obviously like the music/podcast to return to the external speakers. I do not much care whether it plays on the external speakers while I have the headphones on, but the point is I want a seamless experience of whatever I'm listening to.

I haven't messed with it yet and it might be super easy to do, but just putting this out to the community for any tips or important quirks I should know about. I think that there is a mechanism for #Wireplumber to take scripts/configs that give predictable outcomes if your hardware has a unique id, I think. Haven't messed with it.

But this seems like a universally desirable behavior, whatever the case. Maybe it'll just do it. I dunno.

Hay cosas que en #GNU con #Linux no están listas para el gran público. Yo las puedo asumir. Para eso llevo veintiséis años a la espalda. Aun así: me toca la polla.

Es un caso particular, pero oye, es molesto. Me pasa con el #DualSense y #WirePlumber. El "upstream" no maneja como debe el mando y hay que modificar el "caso de uso" (en español, en inglés sus siglas son UCM) para configurarlo con cuatro canales. Para tener vibración háptica, por ejemplo.

I've been having #bluetooth issues (#cinnamon crashed everytime I connected my BT headphones) since a recent system upgrade.

It seems this was caused by a bug introduced in #wireplumber 0.5.13.

I've downgraded wireplumber and libwireplumber to a previous version and now BT is working nicely.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=311515

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.

2/x

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.
#bluetooth #linux #wireplumber

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

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/

#LinuxMobile #linux #mobile

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.

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 🙃).

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/

🐱 Yet another step to package my camera-related stuff in @[email protected] / @[email protected].
Now it's cosmetic change to #wireplumber package that enables gobject introspection.

If, after an upgrade, your #sound suddenly refuses to work with an error that no such sound profile is available - forget all the internet stuff about random #bluetooth, #pulseaudio or #pipewire and other stuff. Try deleting `.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf` first, it might just be an old version and #wireplumber refusing to work means no sound.

PSA for #Sxmo users:

"Wireplumber 0.5.11 just get released. It includes new hooks that toggle
the audio call profile automatically. This conflict with our usage of
callaudiod.

This means the audio over call is broken now on Edge with Pipewire. I
recommend to not upgrade your system for some time until this get fixed."

Task Manager on #Windows is ugly, but it shows evetg u need and more like CPU, GPU, RAM stuffs, even the speed of ur memory, if virtualisation is enabled, etc.

It also can be summoned reliably using a standard keyboard shortcut, and killing apps work every time - which is perfect cos u'd need dat on system as broken and buggy as Windows 10/11.

There's no real equivalent on #Linux/#KDE tho - while it looks 'nicer', it's def still lacking (by default) in terms of showing evetg u need/expect to monitor, how it monitors apps/processes have always appeared very wrong too compared to Windows/#macOS, but the most annoying thing is the fact that killing apps/processes can.. do nothing. I've been trying to kill a completely frozen/dead #Firefox in every way possible using KDE's Activity Monitor or #htop and it's still not dead.

Also, idk if there's a shortcut to summon it, equiv to Ctrl + Alt + Del that always works, even if the entire Plasma Desktop is frozen. There might be, just not familiar with it.

Also, also - related to this Firefox freezing and not dying - Dolphin froze too and after killing it, it never launches again everytime I try to, and all the logs are throwing are #wireplumber shit, ive no idea what wireplumber, some audio thing, has to do with Dolphin launching lmao.

---

On the subject of killing, Ctrl + Alt + Esc seems to invoke some sort of tool that kills whatever app of the window you click, which is pretty cool??? It sorta worked in closing my Firefox window, but not sure if it really worked cos upon trying to launch Firefox again, Firefox thinks it's already running? Pretty cool tho - at least it does something unlike 'Task Manager'/htop.

Ahhh does someone in the opensource community have a wireplumber plugin that does do ducking? Like in
1. sets volume of all streams down to 20% if there appears a new stream
2. restores the state of all streams if that stream disappears

Its nice that we're at the point that we can have audio of 2 and more sources but this manual actions to "stop music/games to listen to a youtube tuto" is very annoying.

#Linux #Audio #Wireplumber #Pipewire

Dear #linuxaudio #pipewire users. I'm not sure if any of you have bothered to change the device nicknames with #wireplumber on your systems to tidy things up (see e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WirePlumber).
You can use a GUI application called "Simple Wireplumber GUI" to do so. See: https://github.com/dyegoaurelio/simple-wireplumber-gui

#Linux audio is bizarrely confusing to a regular user lol - if I were to configure a #PulseAudio setting (i.e. clock.force-quantum) but obviously most systems now have moved to using #PipeWire, but from what I can tell or think to understand is that systems use PipeWire via something called #WirePlumber, should this (user-specific) configuration be done in a WirePlumber config, or PipeWire? I normally could learn these things easily through the #ArchWiki, but so far, this topic is completely lost on me lol.

@m2m @7sleepersmusic 2/2 In my case, I use an #arch based operating system with #pipewire and #wireplumber (no JACK), #bitwigstudio, an RME Fireface UFX in #classcompliant mode, a Dangerous Audio Source, an AKAI MPK261, an Intech Audio EF44, a nOb Nob Control and a few other things (see https://amadeuspaulussen.com/info/gear) as well as a handful of native plugins (no yabridge) and it works absolutely fabulous for me. I really couldn't be happier. 🤓

Настройка bluetooth микрофона с шумоподавлением в PipeWire

В череде дней «длинных» майских праздников решил развернуть голосовой помощник на сервере домашней автоматизации Home Assistant. Мой домашний сервер работает под управлением ОС Ubuntu Server 23.10 и не имеет никаких предустановленных источников или приемников аудио и видео информации. В Ubuntu были установлены аудиосервер PipeWire и менеджер сеансов WirePlumber. Такой выбор был продиктован тем, что эти приложения являются стандартным ПО по обработке аудио и видео потоков в Linux. В сети мне не удалось обнаружить какого-либо полного описания процесса настройки, и эта статья, в некоторой степени, восполняет этот пробел.

Successfully built and set up #pipewire with #mediasession for my custom #mimicOS #linux distro. Yay, I've got sound now!

However, #wireplumber still fails to cooperate - will need more research and debugging. Such a tiresome piece of software...

Also, the #sound issue was solved by removing the directory #wireplumber from ~/.local/state.

So I toyed for hours now with my Ubuntu setup to get #aptX HD with my Sony WH-1000XM3 running.

After much time lost installing #Wireplumber and a patched #Pipewire version, eventually I realized the reason why I only got SBC-XQ is… a configuration setting of my headphones themselves. 🤦‍♂️

Switched to "Prefer sound quality" via Sony Connect: Boy – FLAC quality is really worth it.

this issue still occurs across reboots. it's one of those issues that will happen, but once i manage to somehow "work around it", it's fine - until a reboot. the weirdest #Linux #bug i've encountered for sure.

the previous update of mine saying that it was fixed by removing one of my capture card then reconnecting it wasn't reliable, and likely not the cause - as the issue does still happen without the logs i mentioned.

the only thing i've pinpointed which is reliably indicated every time the issue happens is that upon checking #ksysguard (system/activity monitor), the highest CPU usage would be #wireplumber - which i assume has to do with #pipewire or something.

this time, i managed to "work around it" (no confirmation yet) by just restarting pipewire.service. the issue also did start this time when i was using the custom #discord client (#discord-screenaudio) to stream audio from #firefox/#plex. but it's happened before with the official #discord client too, and something else entirely.
