Subject: pipewire keeps changing volume of output device
Date: Tue, 20 May 2025 20:50:53 -0400
Package: pipewire
Version: 1.4.2-1
Severity: normal
Every time I unplug my DisplayLink hub from my main desktop, pipewire
changes the volume of my built-in audio device:
id 52, type PipeWire:Interface:Device/3
object.serial = "53"
factory.id = "15"
client.id = "47"
device.api = "alsa"
device.description = "Built-in Audio"
device.name = "alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3"
device.nick = "HDA Intel PCH"
media.class = "Audio/Device"
Just to be clear, *this is not a device plugged into the DisplayLink
hub*, it's built into my motherboard.
This is new behavior. It's incredibly annoying.
Why this matters: I have the output volume of this device muted nearly
all the time. When I unplug my DisplayLink hub to plug it into and
user a different computer, I don't want apps on my main desktop to
make noise, but they start making noise as soon as I unplug the hub,
because pipewire messes with the volume.
It didn't always do this, this seems to have broken relatively
recently.
