Pipewire muting background sound for notifications

In pulseaudio, It was possible to limit the other background sound level for alert sounds like notification using the `module-role-ducking` module which could be triggered using paplay .

but per the pipewire wiki, module isn't supported and id don't have an alternative either. any way to achieve similar in pipewire with wayland ?

@V1del , you helped me last time with this, any help

Re: Pipewire muting background sound for notifications

If you can run pavucontrol, you should be able (in the Playback tab) to enable and/or increase the volume of System Sounds.
