USB Headset not working since attempt at Pipewire

Support Audio
9

Data in post #1 shows pipewire-alsa installed, to use PipeWire as default output for ALSA devices (onboard audio and USB headset)

If metapackage manjaro-pulse is working as expected it should install 3 packages:

  • pulseaudio to replace pipewire-pulse
  • pulseaudio-alsa to replace pipewire-alsa
  • pulseaudio-bluetooth

To check the default ALSA output

aplay -L

If pulseaudio-alsa is installed response should look like this:

default
    Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)

Response should also show ALSA audio playback devices:
  DEV=0 - nVidia HDMI
  DEV=1 - Onboard Audio
  DEV=2 - Headset

I suggest clear old user configuration settings for PulseAudio in home folder and restart pulseaudio.service

rm ~/.config/pulse/* ; systemctl --user restart pulseaudio

To check audio cards detected in PulseAudio (or pipewire-pulse)

pactl list cards

and audio streams from youtube to PulseAudio (or pipewire-pulse)

pactl list sink-inputs
