Hello community!
Lately I’ve been having some problems with my system losing connection to my audio devices. I don’t know if this is related to Bazzite or Ublue specifically or if something else went wrong but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
These are the symptoms I’m experiencing:
- Starting games switches audio sources and makes the system lose connection to audio devices for several seconds
- Opening the sound quick settings panel in KDE also causes the connection to be lost and no audio devices to be present for several seconds
After any of these two things happen, the connections come back after several seconds. Some applications don’t seem to recognize this, so anything playing in Firefox at that time is silent until I reload the site. Discord has to be restarted completely so that it finds any audio devices at all again.
After having happened several times, the behaviour seems to go away until the next reboot. This is really annoying and also so obscure that I don’t really know where to begin to look for solutions so any leads would be welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I’m on bazzite:stable 42.20250621
