latest pipewire will not connect

Hi, after the latest update of pipewire, I have no sound. Tried multiple interfaces and usb ports and pipewire not connecting.

My interfaces show in lsusb.

$ wpctl status
Could not connect to PipeWire

Re: latest pipewire will not connect

you shouldn't try to invoke user services with sudo, it's called with --user because it needs to run from/with the context of your normal user, that's the point.

What do you get from

journalctl --user -u pipewire -u wireplumber -u pipewire-pulse

Re: latest pipewire will not connect

Hey thanks for refreshing my memory about  systemctl --user. Haven't had to do that for some time now.

journalctl --user -u pipewire -u wireplumber -u pipewire-pulse
