Dependency issue with manjaro-pulse was reported to package maintainer in February
Cant switch back from manjaro-pulse to manjaro-pipewire to manjaro-pulse
The
manjaro-pulseandmanjaro-pipwiremeta packages are only provided as a convenience. Manual intervention is required. There’s no way around it, unfortunately. If they’re causing too much confusion and problems, they can be dropped.
Metapackage manjaro-pulse did not work for OP when it was suggested in previous topic
--no-install option was suggested to ensure only PulseAudio packages were installed to avoid another failure with pacman/pamac
pulseaudio-bluetooth was omitted because inxi data shows no Bluetooth devices present
manjaro-pulse cannot remove pipewire core package because KDE and Gnome require it as a dependency for wayland
Xfce DE does not not require pipewire but it is a required dependency for Telegram or OBS
