Failed to start pipwewire-pulse.service: Unit pipwewire-pulse.service not found.

No sound from speaker/headphones. Installed alsa-utils but the controls are enabled and at full-blast.

Also, the update said it was having to remove some packages, which I’ve noted, but am unsure if they are pertinent:

Thanks, and help would be much appreciated.

alsamixer -c 0

restored sound even after reboot ( didn’t play with any of its controls)

Any particular reason why this might’ve happened?
