Can not access pipewire or wireplumber [SOLVED]

madderhatter · 2023-05-09 18:01:28

Probably a very noob user error here but I can not launch wireplumber or pipewire. I'm very confused by the documentation. I apologize for my noobery in advance. Here are my errors:

[madderhatter@arch ~]$ pipewire

Aside from just installing packages, I installed pipewire-alsa which uninstalled pulseaudio-alsa I think. If I remember correctly. Alsamixer no longer has any control over my audio and points to pipewire.

Here's the gist of my use case. I'm running Hyprland and I'm trying to get OBS Studio to be able to see different workspaces. It's currently only able to pick up the workspace that I open the application in. I'm also preparing this system for gnome remote desktop sessions. From what I've read I'm pretty sure I need pipewire and wireplumber to pull this off. Any help is much appreciated.

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS POST. I WOULD DELETE IT IF I COULD.

Audio is working fine. OBS Studio is working fine. Moving on to remote desktop.

FWIW since you were using pulseaudio in your last post, if you opt for wireplumber now you're strongly reccommended to do the complete switch including pipewire-pulse.

I just want you to know that I really appreciate your response. As I thought about this post it occurred to me that maybe you don’t access pipewire or wireplumber directly and I felt a good deal of shame for my post. But your response gives me a good idea of how to do audio cleaner in a fresh installation. A lot of the reason for choosing Arch was the ability to get a minimal clean installation. To have as few applications installed to give myself a desktop environment that wasn’t so distracting which really creates a barrier to access to learning for me. I’m sorry if I ask stupid questions. I am however with the help of the community here getting closer and closer to a desktop environment that I plan to use for OSSU. So sob story over thank you for the consideration and I hope I can eventually give back.
