--- Comment #1 from David Jarvie <[email protected]> --- KAlarm in Fedora 39 was version 3.6, from KDE Gear 23.08. It used Phonon to play sounds. Because of the number of bugs reported for KAlarm relating to audio output (probably due to Phonon not being thread safe - see Bug 481334), it now uses VLC or MPV to play sounds. This could explain why you see the crash now, but not on Fedora 39. Provided that the distro has built KAlarm with both VLC and MPV options, the user can select which to use, although distros may only provide one of these options. If your version of KAlarm provides an MPV option (see Settings -> Configure KAlarm), you could try selecting MPV instead of VLC. The crash trace suggests that it's a bug in either VLC or libpipewire which has caused the crash, possibly related to your audio hardware. On my development system, using VLC version 3.0.20 and libpipewire 0.3, I don't get a crash when I set the volume, so I can't investigate it. It looks like Fedora 42 uses VLC version 3.0.21, so I can't test using an identical VLC version. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
