I was advised to switch from PipeWire back to PulseAudio (similar as above). I have tried to do the opposite procedure to the instructions, but without success.
As a non-privileged user I don’t have permission to do this, if I execute it as root the service doesn’t start.
[root@manjaro-arm ~]# systemctl --user status pulseaudio

What is the recommended procedure? Uninstall PipeWire? (But there are dependencies on it e.g. Mutter, Telegram, …)
Updated 2021-10-04:
# systemctl --machine=manjaro@.host --user stop pipewire.service pipewire.socket pipewire-media-session # turn off PipeWire
# su manjaro -c "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 pw-cli info 0" # verification
# systemctl --machine=manjaro@.host --user mask pipewire.service pipewire.socket pipewire-media-session # make PipeWire impossible to start
# systemctl --machine=manjaro@.host list-unit-files --state=masked # verification
BTW screenshot # su manjaro -c "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 XDG_PICTURES_DIR=~/Pictures grim"
