New Manjaro XFCE / No audio

Not sure that you can run both Pipewire and Pulseaudio as active. Almost bound to be a conflict,

@LordTermor

Please stop spreading misinformation.

Inxi shows that both PA and PW are running which is a normal situation for PA-machines with GNOME or KDE as those require PW for working with WebRTC and video.

@LordTermor

does that mean users will be running 2 sound servers (inxi -A)?

PipeWire is not only a sound server but also a general multimedia server (cameras, screen sharing etc in Wayland e.g. work through it) so you’ll end up with PulseAudio managing audio and PipeWire managing everything else.

Xfce users using PulseAudio might need pipewire installed as a dependency for obs-studio or telegram, But if neither package is installed, pipewire is not required
