hello I have nobara version kde linux but just bought some headphones (redragon pelops) they are wireless 2.4 by dongle. apparently linux detects them automatically. I see them in the audio interface and I can connect to them. but it doesn't matter what I do they don't give me audio even when pulsesaudio gui is showing me that it sends audio to the headphones.




just in case:
the headphones are sync to the dongle
all my software is up to date
i did try with pulseaudio, pavucontrol and pipewire
PulseAudio and pavucontrol recognises the headset as a headset but no sound in or out.

thanks for the help and i can update any info you guys need !

Hello themythtoon.
Your outputs show that pulseaudio sees the headset, but that the sound server on one measure is Alsa, but on another is Pipewire. This does seem somewhat confusing. You can find out what is actually using your sound devices with:
Code: 
lsof /dev/snd/*
Pipewire and pulseaudio can both run but the sound card will usually only use one or the other. Alsa sits underneath both of them and appears to be running. Since pulseaudio sees the headset, you could try to run it exclusively as the sound server (which will run on top of alsa), restarting it perhaps without pipewire active. Alsa must be running underneath in any case. You could install alsa-utils and run: speaker-test, to check that it's functioning which I expect it would be. You can run alsamixer which can be used to vary audio volumes in addition to pavucontrol. You need to make sure that nothing is muted in either alsamixer or pulseaudio.

Okay. The sound server is pipewire, and it's supposed to be better than pulseaudio according to my reading, but I'm not experienced with it. What alsa packages do you have? On my system audio is served by pulseaudio, but I have these alsa packages:
Code: 
[flip@flop ~]$ apt list --installed | grep -i alsa
alsa-topology-conf/testing,now 1.2.5.1-2 all [installed,automatic]
alsa-ucm-conf/testing,now 1.2.7.2-1 all [installed,automatic]
alsa-utils/testing,now 1.2.7-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libsox-fmt-alsa/testing,now 14.4.2+git20190427-3 amd64 [installed,automatic]
xmms2-plugin-alsa/now 0.8+dfsg-22+b1 amd64 [installed,local]
The last two may not be necessary, but first three may be useful to have if you don't have them.
