No sound

[d-.-b]

It is perhaps worth mentioning that installing PipeWire as a drop-in replacement for Pulseaudio, according to the Debian instructions, works on Mobian as well. I immediately did this on my Mobian install in order to get high-fidelity Bluetooth audio, and I have had no problems with sound since, even with all the recent Mobian updates.

But what exactly did you do?

So to have Pipewire audio working here is what I did:



It is a derivative from what I've learn there:

Pipewire was already on my Bookworm system:

Code:

mobian@mobian:~$ apt search pipewire

Verifying pulseaudio:

Code:

mobian@mobian:~$ pactl info
Server Name : pulseaudio

Adding libraries like in the video posted above (for Ubuntu and I dont know if necessary) and wireplumber (that necessary for removing pipewire-media-session):

Code:

mobian@mobian:~$ sudo apt install pipewire-audio-client-libraries libspa-0.2-bluetooth libspa-0.2-jack wireplumber

If you need to enable Pipewire Bluetooth now do (as said from the video, I have not tried that as I dont need bluetooth):

Code:

mobian@mobian:~$ sudo apt remove pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

Starting wireplumber service:

Code:

mobian@mobian:~$ systemctl --user --now enable wireplumber.service

Reboot the system



After reboot, pipewire shoud be running:

Code:

mobian@mobian:~$ pactl info
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.59)

Ensure this continues working after a reboot. If not, you may need to "mask" the PulseAudio service by running:

Code:

mobian@mobian:~$ systemctl --user mask pulseaudio

I am very new to Linux so feel free to make corrections but it did the trick for me. Pipewire is starting after every reboots, buttons on the side are working and sound quality is improved for sure. Hope it help some.
