Command to disable pulseaudio.service was ignored because pulseaudio.socket has been masked

Usual status of systemd units should look like this:

systemctl --user -l --no-pager status pulseaudio.{socket,service} 
● pulseaudio.socket - Sound System
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.socket; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Tue 2023-03-07 07:31:20 GMT; 55min ago
      Until: Tue 2023-03-07 07:31:20 GMT; 55min ago
   Triggers: ● pulseaudio.service
     Listen: /run/user/1000/pulse/native (Stream)

I suggest using the following commands to use both systemd units

systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service

systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio.socket

systemctl --user disable pulseaudio.service

systemctl --user enable pulseaudio.socket

systemctl --user restart pulseaudio
