Failed update due to pulseaudio dependencies

[cruncher]

I tried to update today and got these dependency errors.

Please se this:

"pamac update" returns errors about pulseaudio

PulseAudio is still the default audio server on Manjaro and Pipewire is still a beta project The Pulseeffects developer changed the package dependencies to include pipewire-pulse which is marked as conflicting with pulseaudio and pulseaudio-bluetooth where does that leave me? you have 2 options

PulseEffects issues with Pipewire

Hi ! Thank you for this: it got rid of the core dumped. Now PulseEffects does start. The sound is just horrendous and filters don’t seem to act. In addition I lost all keyboard (and xfce) sound level control… [edit]Solved, even if some filter are bugged for now (auto-gain - crystalizer - bass enhancer…) In addition to what was already done, I applied @MajorMayer 's advice: [Stable Update] 2021-02-28 - Kernels, Plasma 5.21.1, Frameworks 5.79, Firefox, Thunderbird, Python - #219 by MajorMaye…

@PulseEffects issues with Pipewire

sudo pacman -R xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin
sudo pacman -S xfce4-volumed-pulse

What’s the command for KDE?

[cruncher]

Thanks. I just uninstalled Pulse Effects and updating went fine after that.

kmix ?

[zombiechop]

so sudo pacman -R kmix-pulseaudio-plugin
sudo pacman -S kmix-volumed-pulse
for kde?

[nam1962]

Nope !
I don’t know KDE, you have to inquire to find the package names

Installed pulseeffcts-legacy last night and all seems well on that front after having first uninstalled pulseeffects and updated.

Another issue for another thread, but my laptop battery life seems to have plummeted since the latest update, and the battery status icon in the toolbar for XFCE seems to be heavily lagging when plugging/unplugging to power. Battery life wasn’t great before (2-3 hours), but now I’m getting about 1 hour. I’ll make sure over the next couple of days and start a new thread if needed.
