I *think* it might be that one of the browsers is not closing a sound callback or poll that it has set up. Pipewire or wireplumber try to close it during shutdown, but it is orphaned, so no longer active. A zombie! Someone had that problem with a discord connection recently on the mailing list. Open the ticket against wireplumber, putting all the information you have in this email. Again, I *think*, if my speculation is correct, that wireplumber should, under certain circumstances, ignore such links during shutdown. The browser *should* close such links when the tab is closed or on shutdown, so it is the party really at fault, but having wireplumber ignore such links during shutdown is a quick and dirty workaround. You could experiment to see which browser is causing the issue and open a bugzilla against that one if you can figure it out. But, that seems to be completely antithetical to your work process. This is all guesses and speculation, so could be completely wrong. _______________________________________________ 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
