Which Linux distro are you using? Fedora 44 KDE Plasma Edition
Which release version? 44
Which kernel are you using? 7.0.12-201.fc44.x86_64 (64-bit)

Which Framework Laptop 12 model are you using? (13th Gen Intel® Core™)
For anyone who may be having trouble with all system microphones randomly stopping to work: use the script below.
rm -v $HOME/.local/state/wireplumber/*
systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse
What this will do, as I understand it, is purge a borked state of wireplumber. I’m not sure if it will reset more complicated settings, but in my experience, it doesn’t do anything too insane (but then again I don’t have a complicated audio setup).
In my experience this will:
- disconnect all Bluetooth speakers and not automatically reconnect (but you can easily manually reconnect)
- not change your volume(?)
- suddenly make all your microphones usable again!
I hope this script is helpful to somebody.
FYI to somebody working at Framework: the Fedora Audio Troubleshooting Guide script does not properly detect this occasional problem, and claims that everything is running fine at the end of its execution!
