Your system is offering a PipeWire socket so Kodi is using it because the PipeWire backend has higher priority than PulseAudio. To force PulseAudio you can launch Kode with |
|
It would be more helpful for you to show me how PipeWire was installed. I have not installed PipeWire at all plus it worked on last weeks build... so Kodi issue not systems. I will try the switch override but the code should be modified to handle any sound server. It used to. |

PipeWire is part of your host system, the Flatpak doesn't provide/install it. All yesterdays update does is to expose the PipeWire socket provided by the host to the Flatpak so it can be used: flathub/tv.kodi.Kodi@f7e5df7 For Kodi to use PipeWire over PulseAudio is the intended behaviour and matches native installs. It's not an option to not expose the PipeWire socket as this breaks the setup for people with a working PipeWire install. |
$ flatpak run tv.kodi.Kodi --audio-backend=pulseaudio... or alternative from flatpak installation... $ # NOTE: May require KDE/Plasma widget or other permissions to change in Application menus
$ /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=kodi tv.kodi.Kodi --audio-backend=pulseaudio... seems to work with it. Since Jammy's life cycle is 10 years from release this might be nice to have in the Kodi documentation for those machines... along with support for the flatpak log file locations. Thank you for that suggestion.
Debug logs were included about 10 minutes after issue creation.
Appreciate the explanation. Still trying to find any command that actually shows if PipeWire is installed. I certainly didn't add their PPA. EDIT
... is where Kodi is trying to force usage of PipeWire which may or may not be present on a target host. In my cases so far it's not present natively.
I think I saw something in a documentation article about this from their PPA... more to check out.
The Ubuntu PPA has been severely out of date, missing binaries, etc, and definitely didn't target PipeWire on any production machines that I've serviced. It was also labeled as PulseAudio... so not sure what you mean here. It's also been "retired". |

I see the logs but they are not debug logs, please see https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file on how to create one.
According to the German Ubuntu wiki https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Pipewire/ (I can't find any English documentation at all) PipeWire is provided starting 22.04 but shouldn't be the default for audio, still it's already used for WebRTC by web browsers. Not sure if that means that the PipeWire socket should exist. You can disable PipeWire entirely via
That makes sense. But removing it breaks PipeWire for the uses that want to use it, see flathub/tv.kodi.Kodi#240 and in the forum. I'm not sure how Kodi should detect to use PulseAudio over PipeWire if both are present. And something is present on your system, Kodi is seeing one device: @lrusak: Do you know of way how to determine if PipeWire is fully working?
I'm not talking about Ubuntu in particular, on every Linux distribution that is running PipeWire it will be Kodis preferred choice. |
My bad was on that page to find the log file location and totally missed that. :) ... Created and updated above with both put below standard logs.
I assume it's the "Built in Audio" i.e. the motherboard sound which is disabled in the Audio System Settings in KDE/Plasma... can temporarily disable it in BIOS to confirm (Probably should be since I have no analog speakers hooked up). No other hardware sound cards other than HDMI out. EDIT Nope not the onboard audio. Don't have clue... possibly a virtual? EDIT Looking at Appreciate the extra tips and time. |
|
Pipewire (and pulseaudio) will likely always have a default device available. It may not be an actual hardware device and may just be a null sink if no hardware is available (or is being held by another soundserver). |
Isn't pipewire re-using pulseaudio socket for compat reasons? Why you need native socket? native socket was historically used for non-audio stuff so it's very common to have both sockets avalaible but using pulse for audio. SDL2 was facing similar issue and are now defaulting to pipewire only if it's above 1.0 which is also not perfect but shouldn't break older distros. |
|
I think i'ts the other way round - it provides a pulse compatible socket, so that native pulseaudio clients connect seamlessly into pipewire. |
That seems reasonable. I was thinking yesterday "What an early PipeWire version... pre-production?"... when I finally found the package names above. I assume it will eventually be bumped on LTS. 22.x distro has ~8 more years of pro support... if they don't bump... :\ 23.x of K/Ubuntu does default to PipeWire from what I've read. That leads into the unanswered question of @neo1973 's:
... The process logic you describe @Erick555 would probably be an excellent indicator of when not to use (initialize as Kodi default according to the PR by @fritsch ) PipeWire. |
|
To summarize, the problem is that in some system configurations PipeWire is running but it's not driving the audio system. Ideally there would be a PipeWire mechanisms to detect such a situation but so far that doesn't exist: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1835 SDL just recently worked around this by checking systemd if |
You may see in the PR I linked above that was reverted and they're checking for pipewire version instead. |

Date: 2024-05-07 01:10:04 +0000... if they did then the issue is still present on several production machines. :\ The one I submitted here seems (redoing Kodi flatpak from scratch as we speak with no data folder just to be sure) to be okay but several others aren't. They keep picking PipeWire... I realize the Accepted Fix above still works but curious as to why out of the box is not working everywhere. I didn't "work-around" two machines with the switch at all and still picking PipeWire. I'll update more when I can... but would be nice to know if those flatpak release commits include those two PRs please. TIA. $ flatpak info tv.kodi.Kodi

Date: 2024-05-07 07:09:53 +0000Confirmed... the system with a discrete GPU over HDMI (What I've been reporting here) appears to be working normally and picks PulseAudio by default... however at least two others that don't have a discrete GPU do not. One is using DisplayPort (DP) adapted to HDMI monitor with built-in speakers. The other is DP out to DP monitor with no built in speakers (has analog Speakers). These two still pick PipeWire as default. I'll run a few tests on one of them and post some more things here if those two release commits include both pulls. |

None of the fixes made it into flatpak yet. You may report it in https://github.com/flathub/tv.kodi.Kodi/issues |

Please advise and thanks for the look.
Expected Behavior
Here is a clear and concise description of what was expected to happen:
Have sound.

Needs check for PulseAudio and offer/use it perhaps in addition to PipeWire if detected.
More of a work around here in the short term...
