After updating I realized EasyEffects was not working as intended. The sound coming out was all distorted, pure noise basically. I manage to fix the issue by restoring to default pipewire and wireplumber settings with these commands:
The rest is working perfectly. Iād like to thank the whole Manjaro team for making this distro as amazing as it is. I can work and play games on my system, couldnt ask for more. <3
Copying them to both ~/.config/ and /etc/ makes no sense for a single user system. However, if you want different settings per user in ~/.config/ with global system settings in /etc/, that would be fine.
Apologies for not being clear enough. Just like you said its worth using only two of those commands (account-wide or system-wide), I agree. I decided to share them all because I dont know all use cases and it may help someone. Hope it helps.
The PipeWire package provides an initial set of configuration files in /usr/share/pipewire
You should not edit these files directly, as package updates will overwrite your changes
To configure PipeWire, you can copy files from /usr/share/pipewire to the alternate system-wide location /etc/pipewire, or to the user location ~/.config/pipewire. An equally named file in a directory with a higher precedence makes the analogous files ignored
If a user has not edited default configurations as per Archwiki
(/usr/share/pipewire/*.conf and /usr/share/wireplumber/*.conf)
They can delete any custom configuration folders
sudo rm -r /etc/pipewire /etc/wireplumber
or
rm -r ~/.config/pipewire ~/.config/wireplumber
and restart pipewire and wireplumber services to load default configurations
If a user has edited default configuration files they can reinstall pipewire/wireplumber packages to restore default configurations before restarting pipewire and wireplumber services
Those directories and files in those directories belong to pipewire and wireplumber packages and you probably meant to mention /etc/pipewire and /etc/wireplumber?
