Not fedora related, but on Arch doing sudo pacman -S pipewire
pipewire-pulse wireplumber pipewire-jack gets those packages installed,
but even when starting them up (under qemu that is), doesn't get Orca
talking, even after a syscontrol --user enable and syscontrol --user
restart for the pipewire and pipewire-pulse packages. It's the same deal
with pipewire-media-session as well. In other words, running into the
same issue with a quick and dirty startx loaded Arch system, whereas iff
I mask or remove the above packages and drop back to Pulseaudio, it
works fine, and yes, Orca was set up in the configs to run correctly
with pipewire, yet no speech or anything was happening until I went back
to Pulse

Hi,
Interesting. I have a fresh install of Fedora mate and my install went
without a hitch, but after doing an update to my system, I had speech at
login, but not at the desktop. On another machine with Fedora work-station,
speech works fine. I am wondering if pipewirer is the problem.

Subject: Pipewire and Orca and audio
So I'm convinced now Pipewire is doing something funky on
qemu/Virtualbox. I've spun up a quick and dirty Arch system running Mate
via startx. Pulse works fine but the moment I redo the install with
Pipewire, Orca keels over.
So is there anything special I need to do in order to get Pipewire to
play nice? I did sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber and
am trying to go with a Pipewire and Wireplumber setup. All other audio,
like YT vids, works fine, Orca just comes out as a garbled mess, so it
looks at least to me like Pulse works better on my system.
Anyone else run into this with Arch or other distros using Pipewire and
fiure out a solution? There's not much online really about it, just
articles on oh it's a bug, or oh replace Pulse with Pipewire
