[Bug]: GUI Volume Control Not Launching

[oven8]

Bug Report

Description

After updating to the latest pipewire-alsa and pipewire-pulse (version 1.24), hyprland (version 0.43.0) the volume control GUI is not opening anymore. I also have easyeffects installed, which is also not opening. I can however control volume from keyboard bindings.

Steps to Reproduce

Not sure yet.

Expected Behavior

I expect the GUI to launch from the app drawer on clicking.

Actual Behavior

Volume control GUI is not launch. In fact nothing is happening.

Got this issue too. can you share what is the output of pulseaudio command the one that pops up the GUI

Try to downgrade one of them and see which fixes it.

I don't think there was any pulseaudio command (for terminal) that would open the GUI. The easyeffects command gives the following:

fish: Job 1, 'easyeffects' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

Another thing is when I run easyeffects in the background things seem to work although the GUI still doesn't open up. I used the command easyeffects --gapplication-service.

Try to downgrade one of them and see which fixes it.

I tried downgrading to version 1.23 (both) but the problem still seems to persist. At this point I'm not even sure if its a pipewire issue or something else (might as well be related to the new hyprland update).

I have this issue since today too.

I attempted to launch Waybar from the terminal, but encountered this error when trying to open the GUI by clicking the audio or speaker icon.

My bad it's the pavucontrol command.

[kRHYME7]

You all are on the official 0.43.0 release?

[kRHYME7]

Already fixed upstream. I don't know, though, what fixed it.
