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.

This must be a pulse audio command.

Try reinstalling pipewire using:

dnf reinstall pipewire

See if that fixes your problem

Wait, did you replace pipewire-pulse with pulseaudio?

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.

Maybe try with kpipewire.

But also check audio in the kde settings maybe they got misconfigured.

Congrats! : D

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