Ill give it a go thx
I’ll second what @banjo said. Go through your pipewire list and remove any aur/git packages. AFAIK it’s a very bad idea to have repo and aur versions of the same package installed on top of each other.

Would running the -S and the -U command help? … Or does this link have nothing to do with what were are talking about?
Ill give that a goo too
Thx for your help peeps … I let you know how it goes.
Enjoy your day
first open the add/remove software click installed and foreign and post what you have installed here
or run this command:

you need to run system update… first remove the 513 kernel:
sudo pacman -R linux513
Ok … old kernel removed
Updated system …
Its saying I gotta reboot, but before I do that … Do I assume the route to take now would be to go back and remove any pipewire aur/git packages as you suggested before?

yes reboot … and you dont have the same aur and official repo packages, so dont need to remove anything
Ok, Thank you
Gotta get my dinner on but will report back to advise what happened.
Thanks again for your time
I wonder why do you need 90% of those packages…doubt you know either. AUR should be locked with password on Manjaro tbh.
Yes that probably is a good idea
On the contrary tho … I do know why at least 50% of them are installed for … Gaming/emulation being the most prevalent … Im learning
What a mess if misinformation.
@GCandy77 you should have done your due diligence and checked why pipewire
package was installed on your system (what other package is requiring it):
$ pactree -r pipewire
This would have told you, kwin
(an essential part of your KDE installation) is requiring pipewire-media-session
and therefor pipewire
… even if you’re still using pulseaudio
as your audio server.
You can disable it’s socket/service as mentioned above - but you won’t be able to remove it (since that package is a requirement).
Its steam & Kwin But thx for the handy command

One last thing before I try to remove n re-install packages.
I had a suggestion Via a chap called Nayr438 on the LTT forums to run these commands (I trust this person and they have helped me a lot in the past)
sudo pacman -S wireplumber pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa pipewire gst-plugin-pipewire
&
sudo pacman -S lib32-pipewire-jack lib32-pipewire
[sudo] password for rob:

:: pipewire-jack and jack2 are in conflict (jack). Remove jack2? [y/N] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: pipewire-jack and jack2 are in conflict
I said no to both of the requests as I wasnt to sure and I remember someone saying that pipewire-media-session was needed n to keep it. But I noticed “wireplumber” looked it up n found this that suggests that I should remove it as its not currently supported. Tbh I dont not remember installing Wireplumber?
Could this be the reason I cannot seem to use Pipewire properly or should I just stick with what was suggested by brahma before?
if you want to uninstall something, uninstall pulse and use pipewire
run this:
sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire
it will give you pulse dependency issues, so uninstall them first, then run again the command for installing pipewire, and choose wireplumber instead of pipewire session, then reboot
I was half way thru your suggestion before you added how to do it via terminal n I got these errors pop up …
I then saw your edit and went thru the process and got these errors this time
[sudo] password for rob:

:: manjaro-pipewire and manjaro-pulse are in conflict. Remove manjaro-pulse? [y/N] y

:: removing pulseaudio breaks dependency 'pulseaudio=16.0-1' required by pulseaudio-lirc
:: removing pulseaudio breaks dependency 'pulseaudio=16.0-1' required by pulseaudio-rtp
So I did what I thought would be the obvious next move (Remove pulseaudio-jack) n then got these errors … just to add to the pain
Should I say yes to these commands that were suggested to install pipewire on another forum to see what happens?
sudo pacman -S wireplumber pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa pipewire gst-plugin-pipewire
&
sudo pacman -S lib32-pipewire-jack lib32-pipewire
i told you to remove the pulse dependencies first:
sudo pacman -R pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp
sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire
reboot
You did … but I didnt know how to via terminal … My apologies & giving it a go soon
