In your messages wireplumber does not appear. It seems
this software
is managing sound since F34. On this page
you find
"Wireplumber ... "needs to be running for
sound to work"."
The page above provides excellent documentation to find what went
wrong, and how to fix it.
It doesn't seem to cover this:
# dnf search systemd | grep -iE 'wire|puls|audio|sound'

Unit wireplumber.service could not be found.

This is after rebooting following running
dnf swap --allowerasing pulseaudio pipewire-pulseaudio
dnf install wireplumber-libs
dnf remove pulseaudio-libs-glib2 # removed phonon* too
Afterward:
dnf install wireplumber
And reboot. Now logging in TDE produces an endless stream of soundserver popups
that prevents focus from staying anywhere else long enough to do anything but
log out, but logging in on vtty allows:
$ systemctl --user status wireplumber.service
# wireplumber.service - Multimedia Service Session Manager
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/wireplumber.service: enabled; preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
What's required to end the popups and continue lack of sound diagnosis?
