The section pertaining to pulsaudio-alsa on the wiki says:
To prevent this, you will need to install the pulseaudio-alsa package. It contains the necessary /etc/asound.conf for configuring ALSA to use PulseAudio.
However, there is no file installed at /etc/asound.conf -- updatedb, locate didn't find an asound.conf file on my system either.

It looks like the unexpected D-Bus error is the issue?

When I boot the client computer everything works fine. I am able to see the sever computer in my pulsemixer and send audio to it without error.
The server is set with a zeroconf name.
The problem is: as soon as I open a browser window the networked audio connection disappears out of pulse mixer.
The issue is only present when using Brave browser. Firefox is fine.
I have no clue why this might be the case and am not sure exactly where to start on troubleshooting it.
Any help would be really appreciated.
