pipewire.service is masked - no sound after update about pipewire-debian HOT 20 CLOSED

had this same problem with unmask not fixing it. Followed another thread that suggested this that finally fixed my problem:

sudo apt reinstall pipewire pipewire-bin pipewire-pulse
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire pipewire-pulse

from pipewire-debian.

On Ubuntu 22.10 I had to do this once:

sudo apt reinstall pipewire pipewire-bin pipewire-pulse

Then for every user I had to do this:

systemctl --user unmask pipewire-pulse
systemctl --user unmask pipewire-pulse.socket
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire pipewire-pulse

Then pactl info gave me the correct information

I rolled back to a previous days snapshot with Timeshift. Pipewire started working again. I just ran the updates again and now it is working fine. Pipewire version 0.3.48.

Sorry to waste your time. Not sure what went wrong.

I have similar problem after upgrading and rebooting...

ubuntu 22.10 has latest version of PW, is not it ?

from pipewire-debian.

0.3.58 appears more recent than OP's 0.3.48, but I did not double-check if it is the latest. Most likely, as it just got officially released a few days ago.

What's weird, is my sound did work after distro upgrade. But broke on last apt-upgrade and reboot.

I wonder if I am not missing a package or need to delete some pulseaudio legacy ones?

from pipewire-debian.

ok, I have not rebooted, so I'm not sure its 100% solved.
but I deleted the pulseaudio and libpulseaudio packages.
and pipewire.service was out. so I just start and enabled.
and my audio device is good

had this same problem with unmask not fixing it. Followed another thread that suggested this that finally fixed my problem:

After kernel patching and update, pipewire was masked. (Pop os 22.04). Following pop troubleshooting doesn't fix the issue.

This worked for me too!
