There's an issue opened upstream, it suggests that the warning message doesn't actually matter: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/3194

Quick questions: are you using the sound card of your laptop, not an external sound card? I also assume it's the XFCE desktop, not GNOME/KDE? And finally, I assume that you logged in as the non-root user (r42072 seems to be your username)?

OK ok, wait, I see something wrong in your logs. Can you please install wireplumber?

<pre>
sudo apt install -y wireplumber
</pre>

That should uninstall pipewire-media-session in the process. Then log out and log back in, or reboot. Does it fix the problem?

It fixed itself whenever i plugged in some headphones. Before that speaker sound would not work at all but when i plugged in earphones and disconnected them it worked. Idk what it is

Can you please try to run this command, and paste the output here:

<pre>
apt list '?installed !?automatic' | grep pipe
</pre>

This will help me to understand why wireplumber is not installed on your system.

And after that, I strongly suggest that you install wireplumber (see command above). It will replace pipewire-media-session, which is obsolete.

Thanks in advance.
