Is your audio server running? I assume it's pipewire on Fedora 40.
- i dont understand what command should i ru n i tried one from google and it says Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
  
  This must be a pulse audio command.
  
  Try reinstalling pipewire using:
  
  dnf reinstall pipewire
  
  See if that fixes your problem
  
  nope same issue the problem started yesterday installing pulseaudio helped but made the problem worse
  
  Wait, did you replace pipewire-pulse with pulseaudio?
  
  i think i installed it on top i thought its gonna solve the problem but after a restart it made it worse
  
  Pipewire-pulse (or whatever the package is called) is the drop-in replacement for pulseaudio that makes apps, that normally use pulseaudio, use pipewire instead. You can't have both installed. You can have pipewire and pulseaudio installed at the same time but your system can only use one of them at a time.
  
  ty for the facts
  
  alr
  
  try > sudo dnf reinstall pipewire-pulseaudio
  
  Error: No packages marked for reinstall.
  
  Maybe try with kpipewire.
  
  But also check audio in the kde settings maybe they got misconfigured.
  
  alr the sound tab is blank
  
  Hmmm... Can you type
  
  systemctl --user status pipewire
  
  I fixed it
  
  Congrats! : D
  
  If you have time, maybe share the solution so future people can check and fix it themselves.
