Fedora 35 : wireplumber service does not respond

  • Pipewire version: 0.3.44-1.fc35
  • Wireplumber version: 0.4.7-2.fc35
  • Distribution and distribution version (PRETTY_NAME from /etc/os-release): Fedora Linux 35 (Workstation Edition)
  • Desktop Environment: Gnome 41.3
  • Kernel version (uname -r): 5.15.17-200.fc35.x86_64

Description of Problem

Have done a regular Fedora 35 update this morning (2022-01-31; last one on friday). I've seen that it has been updated pipewire & wireplumber. And since then I have no more audio devices in the Gnome Audio settings and it takes forever on shut down (systemd waits for wireplumber to exit).

Additional Info

But

  • pw-dump > pw-dump.log does not respond
  • wpctl status does not respond
  • systemctl --user stop wireplumber.service does not respond (takes minutes until the shell prompt comes back and then the service is still not stopped)

This is the service status after the shell prompt comes back:

systemctl --user status wireplumber.service                                                                                                                                                         × wireplumber.service - Multimedia Service Session Manager

Anything else I can provide to solve the problem?
