Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?[edit]

This Test Day will focus on Pipewire by Default

Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion:

You can chat with us on IRC. See the infobox on top of the page to learn the right IRC channel.

Prerequisite for Test Day[edit]

  • A virtual machine or a bare metal machine
  • An installation of Fedora 34 (any Edition or Spin). Make sure to fully update your system. If installing a fresh system, it's recommended to use the latest nightly image.

How to test?[edit]

Visit the results page and click on the column title links to see the tests that need to be run: most column titles are links to a specific test case. Follow the instructions there, then enter your results by clicking the Enter result button for the test.

Please also try to experiment and explore and perform tasks not mentioned in any of the pre-defined test cases.

Reporting bugs[edit]

All bugs should be reported into Bugzilla, in most cases against the Pipewire component. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask us on IRC (see instructions above).

  1. ↑ I would say that the test passes but a remark needs to be made. When an external USB card is connected, it does not become a default device and the sound continues to play on the previously default device. When it is made to default via pavucontrol, it starts playing, removing the device returns playing to the previous device, reconnecting returns the sound to the external device - so I believe that this behaviour is fine. However, plugging headphones into the laptop output does not always turn them on for playing and the sound continues through built-in speaker and vice versa. It has to be manually rerouted, which then works. Sometimes it switches fine, but it is not 100%.
  2. ↑ Bluetooth only works with SBC codes, although it offers AAC as well. Bug reported here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/829

  1. ↑ I had to go into gnome settings to select the dmic for recording to work - it wasn't selected by default (no device selected)
  2. ↑ Note - couldn't see any test instructions so I made up my own and just tested a bunch of stuff :) When I plug headphones in I get audio over both speaker and headphones. I can then go into gnome settings (or pavucontrol) and switch it to be one or the other and then it's just playing on the one device. When I unplug the headphones it doesn't revert to the speaker. Only way I found to force that was in pavucontrol.
  3. ↑ Device didn't switch to HDMI output when plugged in (that's expected - I've discussed this one before and it was agreed this was preferred behaviour), but once audio routed to HDMI when I unplugged it output did not revert to system default speakers.

  4. ↑ The system response is not consistent. Some times it works as outlined in the testcase, other times I get: When headphones are plugged in it show "Speakers (unavailable)" - no automatic switching. When headphones are unplugger it shows "Headphones (unplugged)"
  5. ↑ I tested with a UE Boom bluetooth speaker. Volume control used the port: Headset. Poor sound quality though.
  6. ↑ I have no USB MIDI keyboard available.

  1. ↑ pactl wasn't found. I was testing on VM installed from Fedora-Silverblue-ostree-x86_64-Rawhide-20210227.n.0.iso. I had to run rpm-ostree install pulseaudio-utils -r to get the CLI available. After that, it worked. I used a Yamaha P-125 piano plugged in by USB and bridged to the VM, which supplies and audio in and out channels, and it was detected properly.
  2. ↑ Installed https://flathub.org/apps/details/us.zoom.Zoom and shared screen with audio. Other users in the meeting didn't see any video and didn't hear desktop audio. On Fedora 33, with normal pulseaudio, it worked.
  3. ↑ I had an USB piano with audio I/O channel plugged in via USB, bridged to a F34 silverblue VM on gnome-boxes. I went to gnome-control-center (in the VM), sound tab. On output device I had: 1. Line Out - Built-in Audio 2. Digital Output (S/PDIF) - Digital Piano 3. Analog Output - Digital Piano Choosing options 1 or 3 worked as expected. Option 2 produced some fuzz randomly when playing the bell sound (found at the end of that same config window).

  1. ↑ On VM I log in and have "Line Out" device. Then, on VM (gnome boxes) properties, I bridge 1 USB audio headphones and 1 USB piano with audio I/O channels. On one of my tests, "Line Out" disappeared. On other test, all 3 devices were there. Several times, there were audio glitches (not sure if because of pipewire, or because of being a VM).
  2. ↑ Some audio glitches when playing sound while doing other operations such as installing VLC from the software center. Probably due to being a VM.

  1. ↑ F34 Workstation installed on bare metal.
  2. ↑ Not all analog outputs work. Among them, Creative AE-5 Plus (HDA Creative, ca0312) and Realtek ALC887 onboard audio shows up in devices list, but they are not working. The USB DAC (Sabre HiFi DAC) works well.
  3. ↑ Tested on bare metal installation.
  4. ↑ Pavucontrol starts and all input devices are listed. The input signal levels can be adjusted in pavucontrol. However, gnome sound recorder doesn't record correctly, the sound it recorded is way more faster (perhaps 5x faster? can't really tell) than what it should be and thus unintelligible.
