Hello,

Back again, i swear I'm always having audio issues.

This time I'm running i3 via lightdm running OpenRC, on xfce4 pipewire and pavucontrol work fine. i have profiles set and I'm good. As soon as i switch to i3 pavucontrol just says connecting and never connects and i have no sound.
I don't know what information to give you other then this is a Chromebook running latest version of Gentoo.

Hp Chromebook x360 14c - Dragonair

Let me know what you need

Code: Select all


joe@gentoo ~ $ uname -a
Linux gentoo 6.1.69-gentoo-dist #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Dec 20 18:24:10 -00 2023 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-10110U CPU @ 2.10GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Emerge info - https://bpa.st/ASEA

I solved this by reading the gentoo wiki on pipewire

1. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire#g ... e-launcher

2. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire#A ... er_support

Rebooted after i did all this and everything is working
