Hi !
Thank you for this: it got rid of the core dumped.
Now PulseEffects does start.
The sound is just horrendous and filters don’t seem to act.
In addition I lost all keyboard (and xfce) sound level control…
[edit]Solved, even if some filter are bugged for now (auto-gain - crystalizer - bass enhancer…)
In addition to what was already done, I applied @MajorMayer 's advice: [Stable Update] 2021-02-28 - Kernels, Plasma 5.21.1, Frameworks 5.79, Firefox, Thunderbird, Python - #219 by MajorMayer
I also removed xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin to only keep xfce4-volumed-pulse (this care of the keyboard volume settings)
Thank you all for this, here what I did:
sudo pacman -Rdd pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-ctl pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp pulseaudio-zeroconf pulseaudio-equalizer-ladspa
as several packages were not insalled, I indeed did:
sudo pacman -Rdd pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-ctl pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-equalizer-ladspa
then
sudo pacman -Rdd pulseeffects-legacy
sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire gst-plugin-pipewire pulseeffects
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
Then
systemctl --user unmask pipewire.socket && systemctl --user enable --now pipewire.socket
Then
sudo nano /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/media-session.conf
uncomment the “metadata” module in the default section.
[Edit] I reverted this one, as it seemed have a negative impact on somme pulseeffects filters
[Edit2] Reused it as, even if several pulseeffects 5 filters seem broken, quality of equalizer seems better with metadata uncommented.
Then
systemctl --user restart pipewire.service
and to recover my Xfce keyboard volume control :
[Edit] If you are not on Xfce, DON’T apply the next two commands.
sudo pacman -R xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin
sudo pacman -S xfce4-volumed-pulse
After all this pipewire & pulseeffect do work, even if, as said, several filters cannot be used for now.
