The alternative method should have found one of these as the correct output in order to give you sound. You then would have to somehow tell pipewire to use that device. Online, I see that people are using pavucontrol with pipewire successfully. If you can do that, it should be easy to fix this. Just go into pavucontrol and, while music is playing (even if there is no sound), set the default device to the each of the hdmi outputs in turn, hdmi:0,3 hdmi:0,7 etc. When one of them outputs sound, leave it as the default. You then don't have to worry about translating the alsa form into the pipewire form; pavucontrol will have done it for you. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
