AirPlay discovery on Fedora Problem Other laptops, Macs, iPads, or Apple TVs on the same local Wi-Fi network appear as available audio output devices or trigger pop-ups (e.g., in Discord or system settings) asking to switch audio streams. Cause Fedora uses PipeWire as its primary audio server. By default, it includes automatic network discovery for AirPlay / RAOP (Remote Audio Output Protocol) devices. If a neighbor or classmate has network sharing or AirPlay enabled, PipeWire will automatically detect and list it. Solutions Method 1: Remove the Discovery Package If you never intend to stream your laptop's audio to an AirPlay receiver, Apple TV, or another computer over Wi-Fi, the cleanest solution is to uninstall the configuration package responsible for it. Note: This will not affect local Bluetooth earbuds, speakers, or physical audio devices. sudo dnf remove pipewire-config-raop Method 2: Disable Discovery via Config File If you prefer not to uninstall system packages, you can explicitly tell PipeWire to skip loading the RAOP module via a user-level configuration override. Create the configuration directory: mkdir -p ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/ Create and open the override file: nano ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/disable-raop.conf Paste the following block: context.properties = { module.raop = false } Apply changes: systemctl --user restart pipewire wireplumber
