Does the problem persist after a reboot?

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

nope same issue the problem started yesterday installing pulseaudio helped but made the problem worse

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Wait, did you replace pipewire-pulse with pulseaudio?

[-] Mwa 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

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.

try > sudo dnf reinstall pipewire-pulseaudio

[-] Mwa 2 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Hmmm... Can you type

systemctl --user status pipewire

Congrats! : D

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

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
