Is your audio server running? I assume it’s pipewire on Fedora 40.

i dont understand what command should i ru n i tried one from google and it says Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

This must be a pulse audio command.

Try reinstalling pipewire using:

dnf reinstall pipewire

See if that fixes your problem

Error: No packages marked for reinstall.

Maybe try with kpipewire.

But also check audio in the kde settings maybe they got misconfigured.

alr the sound tab is blank

wallmenis@lemmy.one on 26 Jul 2024 13:23 collapse

Hmmm… Can you type

systemctl --user status pipewire

Mwa@thelemmy.club on 26 Jul 2024 14:00 collapse

I fixed it

wallmenis@lemmy.one on 26 Jul 2024 14:16 collapse

Congrats! : D

If you have time, maybe share the solution so future people can check and fix it themselves.

ohh yeah

Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de on 26 Jul 2024 10:49 collapse

Wait, did you replace pipewire-pulse with pulseaudio?

Mwa@thelemmy.club on 26 Jul 2024 11:00 collapse

i think i installed it on top i thought its gonna solve the problem but after a restart it made it worse

Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de on 26 Jul 2024 14:45 collapse

Pipewire-pulse (or whatever the package is called) is the drop-in replacement for pulseaudio that makes apps, that normally use pulseaudio, use pipewire instead. You can’t have both installed. You can have pipewire and pulseaudio installed at the same time but your system can only use one of them at a time.

Does the problem persist after a reboot?
