Description of Problem:
In every version of pipewire > 0.3.49 there is no audio: "No output device".
How Reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
- Install any version of pipewire > 0.3.49 in Fedora 36 or 37 or 38.
- After booting has finished sound works normal, but only for about 30-60 seconds.
- Then audio suddenly stops, and there is a notification "no output device".
Actual Results:
see above
Hardware: Dell Inspiron 660 desktop with the KDE spin of Fedora. Sound card: 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller
When I downgrade the pipewire software to pipewire-0.3.49-1.fc36 and restart pipewire ("systemctl --user restart pipewire") everything works like a charm. Pipewire detects the sound card immediately, even without reboot. I don't need to restart wireplumber or pulseaudio.
Expected Results:
Audio should work as long as the machine is booted.
