VLC provides multiple different audio settings, including Pipewire,
Pulseaudio and Alsa. I thought Fedora was using Pipewire these days,
but selecting Pipewire as the audio driver did not produce any audio,
neither did Pulseaudio, only Alsa did
I think it's still the case that when you install pipewire, there's
some things that pretend to be pulseaudio for the programs that expect
to use pulseaudio. It can add confusion to things.
In general, I've found VLC offers me choices of the two available audio
hardware devices on my PC: HDMI or an external USB devices.
I think I disabled the motherboard audio within UEFI, since I'll never
use it. Or it could be that it detects when there's a jack in a
socket. "lspci" shows it, but it's not showing up on VLC's list.
I haven't tried the audio output since removing the config file
corrected the defective video output, but VLC offered me the audio
output choice of the headphones I use, the monitor speakers and the
external audio (builtin audio on the motherboard) even though there is
nothing actually plugged into the audio jacks, but VLC would not let me
actually select any of them, so I'm assuming that when I had Alsa
selected as the audio it was using the system default which is my
headphones.
I know there is a pulseaudio-pipewire package installed as I've seen it
being upgraded.
