As of Gnome 4.2 i had to install/setup Pipewire and wireplumber, now my problem is that when playing Games i have audio samples not playing for a second or 2, E.G. a voice will cut off, the gun I’m shooting will have no sound, like i said for a second or 2.
USB Sound Card, UGreen Advanced Audio Device up to 32bit/96khz.
“pactl info” from terminal shows:

Which looks right other then i can go to 96khz, but the problem i have is after looking at the forums for Pipewire problems and Arch Wiki support i cannot find most of the config files, the folders are empty (/etc/pipewire/client.conf.d/)
So does anyone know what/where are the config files i need to edit are located, and what i might edit to solve this problem, like drop to 24bit, maybe up or lower buffer?
Never had this problem before Pipewire/wireplumber, and also i am not running/installed easyeffects as i see no use for it.
Found the config files in “user/share/pipewire/” and most config files say to move them to “/etc/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/” for system-wide changes, so I’ll try that and also try to figure out what i need to change/edit.
I have now tried everything i can, googled everything Pipewire, gone though every Doc i can find but for some really strange reason as soon as i move any config file from “usr/share/pipewire/” to the correct folder in “etc/piperwire/whatever folder needed/” and even if i don’t edit the config file and only copy it in to the right folder and then restart Pipewire services or reboot the computer i loose all audio, Gnome audio settings are blank, terminal commands error, etc, etc.
So I’m stuck with default settings (deleted all configs from “etc/pipewire/”), so problem with Games can not be fixed.
Did find i still had PulseAudio-Alsa installed and Arch Wiki says to remove it and use Pipewire-Alsa, which was already installed when i did Manjaro-Pipewire package, anyway removing PulseAudio-Alsa made zero differents.
I forgot to say that ~/.config/pipewire, etc, had the same problem, i would loose all audio if i copied the config file/files.
I’ve got it sorted now, some friendly Arch Linux user had the answers and fixed it in no time, so i am now able to edit a config file in etc/pipewire and don’t loose audio, the only changes i needed was:
