From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello so today fedora/linux cannot find any audio devices and it randomly started happening
Update: removing Pulseaudio and reinstalling Plasma-pa helped ty for the nice comments tho No help required anymore
Does the problem persist after a reboot?
Yeah
Is your audio server running? I assume it's pipewire on Fedora 40.
i dont understand what command should i ru n i tried one from google and it says Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
This must be a pulse audio command.
Try reinstalling pipewire using:
dnf reinstall pipewire
See if that fixes your problem
nope same issue the problem started yesterday installing pulseaudio helped but made the problem worse
Wait, did you replace pipewire-pulse with pulseaudio?
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.
ty for the facts
alr
try > sudo dnf reinstall pipewire-pulseaudio
Error: No packages marked for reinstall.
Maybe try with kpipewire.
But also check audio in the kde settings maybe they got misconfigured.
alr the sound tab is blank
Hmmm... Can you type
systemctl --user status pipewire
I fixed it
Congrats! : D
If you have time, maybe share the solution so future people can check and fix it themselves.
ohh yeah
