from looking here, the thing that makes the most sense for me is pw-cli list-objects
, could you try running pw-cli
, then type list-objects
and then play random sounds on an application? Could be anything, like a media player or web browser.
When no command is given, pw-cli starts an interactive session with the default PipeWire instance pipewire-0.
This would mean this should list any changes directly to the terminal, saving us from needing to log it externally
It should report quite a lot of data considering it reports everything related to audio there, but it should let you know about any changes. If you can trace back from the sounds you made to the application you’ve run it from, it should work.
Different applications can use Chromium as their base and might not be configured to return their application name to PipeWire, which in that case, Chromium returns its name.
If you’re using a web app like Discord/Vesktop that’s likely it.
