Cannot install manjaro-pipewire

Support Software & Applications

Basically, what you need to do is :

Remove every single package beginning with “pulseaudio”, then install manjaro-pipewire.
I did that recently on a fresh installation, that’s it.

Regarding Jack2 issue, here is below what @philm wrote on the Announcement section :

Pipewire tend to replace all stuff related to Audio. This time jack2 seems to create issues. In the past pipewire-jack provided jack2. However, since the lack of dbus support that line got removed and only conflicts kept. So if you use jack2 with the dbus feature, you may want to remove the pipewire-jack package. If not you can continue and additionally install lib32-pipewire-jack package.

Personally, when i installed manjaro-pipewire after uninstalled all pulseaudio* stuff, jack2 was not replaced by pipewire-jack, and it’s fine for my needs.

The major point is that no sound icon is fixed.

That actually shouldn’t be left over. Install pipewire-alsa and remove pulseaudio-alsa.

I’ve made some changes with manjaro-pulse / manjaro-pipewire 20220217-1 so that won’t happen in the future.

There is a weird thing now. I found that what causes the no-sound-icon bug is that plasma-pa is uninstalled when uninstalling pulseaudio

In fact, although plasma-pa is Plasma applet for audio volume management using PulseAudio, it can work with pipewire and without pulseaudio.

the current solution is:

sudo pacman -R manjaro-pulse
sudo pacman -R pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-ctl pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp pulseaudio-zeroconf
sudo pacman -R plasma-pa
sudo pacman -R pulseaudio
sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire
sudo pacman -S plasma-pa

So I am thinking that if the dependency needs to change a bit?

Update solution

sudo pacman -R manjaro-pulse
sudo pacman -R pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-ctl pulseaudio-zeroconf
sudo pacman -R plasma-pa
sudo pacman -R pulseaudio
sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire
sudo pacman -S plasma-pa
