EasyEffects Version

8.0.0 - 8.0.3

What package are you using?

Flatpak (Flathub)

Distribution

Kalpa Desktop and Aeon Desktop

Describe the bug

Starting Easy Effects causes everything to go mute. Audio Playback and microphone. No other app is able to use the mic afterwards. Tested this with OBS Studio, Discord and Audacity.

Plus on Aeon (Gnome 49) exiting Easy Effects crashes the desktop and returns to login screen.

Expected Behavior

It to be working

Additional Information

This issue started occurring with 8.0.0 and is also present with 8.0.3

Since Aeon and Kalpa are rather unknown, they are openSUSE Tumbleweed based distros aimed at desktop users. Aeon ships with latest Gnome, Kalpa with latest KDE.

Hello. I have the feeling you have the same issue other Tumbleweed users had: using an uncompatible Pipewire version.

Please report the version of your Pipewire installation.

What exactly is a "supported" version of PipeWire? I run 1.5.81 which seems to be one of the PipeWire 1.6 Release Candidates.

According to upstream:

This is the first 1.6 release candidate that is API and ABI compatible with previous 1.4.x, 1.2.x and 1.0.x releases.

PipeWire's latest stable release is 1.4.9. It is the one Arch Linux has in its repository.

So much for 1.5.81 up to 1.5.83 being ABI and API compatible with 1.4.x I guess 😅

To make things even more bizarre it seems that it actually works for some people.

I also have exactly the same issue with pipewire 1.4.9 and easyeffects 8.0.3 on NixOS

If possible try to test on 8.0.5. You might be affected by a different and already fixed bug that could also cause lack of sound in some cases. I haven't seen anyone using pipewire 1.4.9 being affected by the same bug people using its release candidate are. I also use pipewire 1.4.9 on Arch Linux. This one is fine.
