I suggest choosing pipewire, and getting rid of pulseaudio. If they are both already installed, I'm not sure that the swap command will work to clean everything up, it will have to be done manually. Do a dnf remove pipewire\* and that should get rid of pipewire and all its dependencies. Then you can run the dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire dnf install pipewire\* commands to swap pipewire for pulseaudio, and install the other dependencies. At that point, sound should be working again, since pipewire is meant to be a drop in replacement for pulseaudio, and your old configuration should begin working again. If it doesn't, using pavucontrol will set the configuration for pipewire. > one output from the motherboard and one from the graphics card. > pavucontrol says it is trying to connect to pulseaudio and just sits > there. my cpu is a Ryzen 7 2700X and my video card is a Nvidia > GeForce GTX 1050Ti/PCIe/SSE2. > > I looked at the journal with journalctl.

The tainted won't matter for this, it is just saying that nvidia is closed source (it is proprietary), so any kernel problems with it installed will not be worked on. > The sound does work when I boot using a live CD for Fedora 35. I think that pipewire became the default starting with f35, so that is a good indication that sound *will* work once you replace pulseaudio with pipewire and get the conflict between the two resolved. But, you can also just continue using pulseaudio until you upgrade to a later version of Fedora. So, you could stop after the dnf remove pipewire\* command. You should blacklist pipewire in the /etc/dnf/dnf.conf file so it won't be installed and recreate the problem, excludepkgs=pipewire* _______________________________________________ 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
