I have recently read the article: How to make linux sound great and was convinced to go ahead and make the switch to pipewire, once I did this I got some problems. headphones would not connect to bluetooth, then it would connect and disconnect after 1-2 seconds. I worked through a lot of articles threads on the forum and the arch wiki at the end I was able to find a fix through claude by doing 2 things:
- making a bluetooth configuration in
~/.config/wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d/50-bluez-config.luaand adding the following
bluez_monitor.properties = {
["bluez5.enable-sbc-xq"] = true,
["bluez5.enable-msbc"] = true,
["bluez5.enable-hw-volume"] = true,
["bluez5.headset-roles"] = "[ hsp_hs hsp_ag hfp_hf hfp_ag ]"
}
- Typing this command after each boot
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth
There was also another issue with the latency when pressing on volume +/- on the headset, Claude mentioned that this was a common issue in pipewire.
The last issue that made me want to switch back was that I wasn’t getting the full audio from videos, it seems that some audio channels weren’t getting through?
I then decided to switch back to pulseaudio however that was a nightmare because I had already removed all the dependencies and everything related to pulseaudio as well as jack, I replaced all of them with pipewire.
I removed manjaro-pipewire and replaced it with manjaro-pulse. I also got jack2 installed again since I had replaced it with pipewire-jack. I made sure that there were no pipewire libraries afterward and deleted all configs for pipewire and wireplumber.
I ended up having to install the libpipewire & pipewire packages without the other packages because a camera package needed them?
The microphone is not detected on vivaldi and I am getting multiple microphone profiles, I noticed the multiple profiles when I switched to pipewire. Initially It was only one microphone profile and I could choose the input device whether the headset or the laptop’s.

TLDR;
I made the mistake of touching something that was working and now I just want to get everything back the way it was.
My mics (laptops internal & Headset [Soundcore Q30] ) are not being detected by vivaldi even though they are shown already.
I also have to keep on typing sudo systemctl restart bluetooth for my bluetooth headset to work even after making the switch back.
