Constant need to restart pipewire

[Stable Update] 2025-03-24 - Known Issues and Solutions

▼ No sound from PulseAudio after PipeWire update

If PulseAudio audio playback is suspended after PipeWire update, unload module-suspend-on-idle

pactl unload module module-suspend-on-idle

If that works, create a custom default.pa configuration for PulseAudio in home folder

cp /etc/pulse/default.pa ~/.config/pulse/default.pa

and comment out module-suspend-on-idle in custom configuration

sed -i '/load-module module-suspend-on-idle/s/^/#/' ~/.config/pulse/default.pa

Or install manjaro-pipewire to replace pulseaudio with pipewire-pulse
