Audio devices not recognised by system audio control

[oxwrongagain]

Hello,

I suspect your problem is having incompatible sound packages installed. I had a similar problem and found this post:

Gnome Sound Settings struggles to toggle to other Hardware

Hi Deano, many thanks, mate. Giving your links a read now. Switching between Tele (HDMI) and main Speaker at the PC’s desk works fine again and immediate. Awesome. I hope, it will stay that way. Lesson learned for a Newbie like me: If some applications demand Pipewire and some other applications want Pulseaudio, it is INCORRECT to install both such packages by same name. Instead - as you explained - the combo has to be: 1. pipewire 2. pipewire-pulseaudio 3. pipewire-libjack-0_3

Cheers
