Convert to pipewire

[0n0w1c]

sudo pacman -Ru --nodeps pulseaudio pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp pulseaudio-zeroconf pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-pa pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-ctl manjaro-pulse && sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire

This no longer works due to package changes. I did a install of i3wm via the manjaro-arm-installer and it installed pulseaudio, no pipewire packages are installed. What is the proper way to remove pulseaudio and replace it with pipewire?

try the first recommended way first;

What is the correct way to install package “manjaro-pipewire”?

@realmain Hi, I was reading through the thread in the process of removing pulseaudio and changing to Pipewire. If I read everything correctly can you confirm these steps are correct: Installing Pipewire on Arch Linux (1) Uninstall pulseaudio: sudo pacman -R pipewire-pulse sudo pacman -R manjaro-pulse sudo pacman -R pulseaudio If the previous not works then: sudo pacman -Rdd pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-ctl pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc …

The older instructions refer to packages that no longer exist: manjaro-pulse, manjaro-pipewire, etc.
Nor do I have them installed:

Looking at what pulse packages are installed:

$ pacman -Ss pulse | grep installed
extra/libpulse 15.0-1 [installed]
extra/pavucontrol 1:5.0-1 [installed]
extra/pulseaudio 15.0-1 [installed]
extra/pulseaudio-alsa 1:1.2.6-2 [installed]
extra/pulseaudio-bluetooth 15.0-1 [installed]

If you simply install pipewire-pulse (and replace the packages it mentions) it should use a pipewire service instead of pulseaudio on reboot.

Thank you, that worked.
