I have been experiencing an issue with both PulseAudio and Pipewire (I currently have pipewire), where the moment I open an application, my audio stops working and I need to restart the services. I don’t have any masked sockets or services, and pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber are enabled. I am new to this so help would be appreciated as I have tried everything I could find online - I imagine it may be a config thing, but should default config not work? I have completely removed pipewire and pulseaudio while troubleshooting (including config), and reinstalled by installing manjaro-pulseaudio, and then manjaro-pipewire which replaced everything necessary.
To get it to work currently I run systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber whenever the sound stops working.
I feel it may be related to the xdg-portal error seen in the services, but I don’t recall removing an xdg-portal. Is that the xdg-portal-desktop package?
