Where would I find pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.29-1.fc36?
What I tried was 'dnf downgrade pipewire' and it downgraded to
pipewire-0.3.49-1.fc36 along with some other pipewire-* packages. I
rebooted but it didn't change anything.
I think I will try downgrading firmware next.
oops !
The suggestion I was referring to was
https://www.ericsbinaryworld.com/2022/09/10/warning-bug-in-latest-pipewir...
Where it clearly says
dnf install pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.49-1.fc36
NOT 0.3.29-1 - sorry
As I have my own local repo the rpm and dependencies were picked up from there.
dnf recognised it as a downgrade and just did it.
Downgrading:
pipewire x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 39 k
pipewire-alsa x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 62 k
pipewire-gstreamer x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 61 k
pipewire-libs x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 1.6 M
pipewire-pulseaudio x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 28 k
pipewire-utils x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 327 k
I repeat that in my case this was not needed, with
kernel 5.19.9-200.fc36.x86_64 and pipewire-0.3.58-1.fc36.x86_64
all is well.
