Package: pipewire Version: 0.3.42-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I have a headset that I connect with a USB dongle. It used to work in December. Today, sound output still works, but not input. I can select the headset as input source in gnome settings, I see it in pavucontrol, etc, but they don't actually get any sound (unlike the internal mic of the laptop, for which I see a bar that moves when I talk). In the log, I first see Jan 7 12:17:57 hippo /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[1449]: (II) event10 - EPOS EPOS BTD 800 Consumer Control: is tagged by udev as: Keyboard Hmm, no, that's a headset... But whatever, this also happens on a debian stable system where the headset still works.

I found https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1916 and followed their advice to add ["api.alsa.multi-rate"] = true, in /usr/share/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua and now the mic works again! Editing a file in /usr is obviously not good. I don't know if it would make sense to backport https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/commit/f8cdc05720bf13bd78e42eb6890fc2f855c8f554 for the debian package (and I haven't checked if that actually works, although it does look likely). Since this used to work, I don't know if something used to enable multi-rate, or if some new client appeared that uses a "bad" rate, that could point to another workaround. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable-debug'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages pipewire depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.61 ii libpipewire-0.3-modules 0.3.42-1 ii pipewire-bin 0.3.42-1 pipewire recommends no packages. pipewire suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
