$ systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse.service pipewire-pulse.service - PipeWire PulseAudio Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: active (running) No error messages. Reinstalled pipewire-pulse so /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf is as per the default. /etc/pipewire/ is empty. ~/.config/pipewire does not exist. Andy.
