How To Purge PulseAudio From Manjaro And Install PipeWire?

I gave you the literal instructions higher up to get rid of PulseAudio and install PipeWire. sudo pacman -Ru --nodeps pulseaudio pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp pulseaudio-zeroconf pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-pa pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-ctl manjaro-pulse && sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire

Pipewire as default in Manjaro in the near future?

Remove the Pulseaudio dependency packages that manjaro-pipewire does not recognise sudo pacman -Rud pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp pulseaudio-zeroconf

Some good background information about PipeWire is given in the Arch wiki:
