Gnome-control center shows "Dummy Output" for audio output device

Hi Folks,

my installed Fedora 36 on a vmware-guest system keeps showing “Dummy Output” as the audio device after playing around with the pipewire settings.

In the meantime, I have deleted the configuration files that I know of and rebooted the computer, but no change.

rm -r ~/.config/pulse/*
rm -r ~/.local/state/wireplumber/*

available device:

[martin@fc36 ~]$ aplay -l

pipewire.socket                                                   enabled   enabled

normally this should look correct:


pactl get-default-sink
alsa_output.pci-0000_02_02.0.analog-stereo

pactl list short sinks
44 alsa_output.pci-0000_02_02.0.analog-stereo PipeWire s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED

setting the default sink does not work.
[martin@fc36 ~]$ pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_02_02.0.analog-stereo
Failure: No such entity

how can I restore the normal state ?

An update to the current pipewire version has solved the problem.
