I can’t open PulseEffects.

Terminal says:

Which versions of Fedora, pipewire and pulseeffects do you have installed?

Do you have modified the gtk.css file? If yes, please remove it and try again.
If no, do you have any Gtk themes installed? If yes, please switch to the default theme (Adwaita) and try again.

Pulseeffects does not work with pipewire now. The best you can do, is to contact the developer and to talk with him about your issue. He is the only one who can help you.

I did some digging, and this does not appear to be the case now. In fact, the upstream project even says: “Audio effects for PipeWire applications.”. A quick search for the error took me to this issue:

The fix is in the last comment:

rm -rf ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0

I was getting the same error and this fixed it for me. Could you try it and see what you get?

Odd, cause I’ve tried that yesterday, but now it worked! Thank you for the help.
