I have no idea how to use pipewire. Do you simply run the comand $ pipewire to
get an interface like alsamixer?
Why are you trying to start pipewire manually? Systemd should do it for
you as a part of user session. It is not an application with GUI.
You should have some mixer applet in your desktop environment. Another
option is pavucontrol.
Check
systemctl --user --failed
and other systemctl commands to inspect status of pipewire units. See
ArchLinux wiki articles for pipewire and *pulseaudio* for examples of
pactl command that may be helpful for debugging.
In my case pipewire just works. There was some issue immediately after I
replaced pulseaudo, but it disappeared before I figured out what happened.
