Install of pulseaudio-modules-bt needs unavailable libpulsecommon-15

English Applications
1

I tried to install additional audio codecs from zypper but install needs libpulsecommon-15.0. The locate app shows libpulsecommon-17 already is installed. I tried a link to send call for v15 to the installed v17 but zypper was still not satisfied and still wanted v15. I also tried installs from OBS and that needed the v15 also. Anyone solved this issue?
I will look to find the v15 from rpmfind on the internet but perhaps there is another solution.

Problem: 1: nothing provides 'libpulsecommon-15.0.so()(64bit)' needed by the to be installed pulseaudio-modules-bt-1.4-23.1.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install pulseaudio-modules-bt-1.4-23.1.x86_64
 Solution 2: break pulseaudio-modules-bt-1.4-23.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Where do you get this:

Post:
zypper se -s pulseudio-module

3

What repos do you have enabled, because in the OSS repo it looks like the package is called pulseaudio-module-bluetooth and that is at version 17 just like pulseaudio.

4

The pulseaudio-modules-bt is supposed to be additional codecs for headphones beyond pulse-module-bluetooth. Requested info below.

I put an rpmfind libpulsecommon-15 into /usr/lib64/pulseaudio and zypper would still not install pulseaudio-modules-bt.

That package was built on 8/26/2021, 6:57 AM so likely you need a Tumbleweed from 5 years ago to have it working…

6

and from their search output

pulseaudio-modules-bt Available in repo home_alarrosa_packages

This is why you don’t use random home repos without knowing what your doing.

Whoops, a 5 year old tumbleweed is not going to happen.

I did see that pipewire has these advanced codecs already cooked in. Maybe the time has come to switch but I wanted to try them out to see if I could hear any difference first. I have pretty good headphones that support advanced codecs.

I’ll just let this be.

thanks, tom kosvic

I think I know what I was doing. I didn’t know it wouldn’t work.
