Hi guys
Now that we are using pipewire, I have this bug where I switch my PC on, audio is fine through displayport / out my monitor. When I lock my screen though, the audio device disappears? I login again and its gone… So i have to simply turn my screen off then back on and it re-appears.
Steps to reproduce:
- attach speakers to audio jack on PC screen that is connected via DP/HDMI
- check sound is working via DP/HDMI output
- lock screen, wait a min while screen goes blank
- login again
- default DP/HDMI output is gone
- while logged in switch screen off then back on and DP/HDMI audio will be selected again
not the end of the world but would like to have it fixed
also a bit frustrated there was no smooth switch from pulseaudio to pipewire, i lost my sound when updating and had to go figure out how to finish removing pulseaudio properly and install the rest of the pipewire stuff
