Pipewire doesn't start on startup

Hey guys, I just installed Arch a couple hours ago and I'm having trouble with audio. Everytime I turn on my PC and type in pactl info, it said:
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
And everytime I wanted audio to work, I have to restart pipewire in order for it to work.

Re: Pipewire doesn't start on startup

systemctl --user enable --now pipewire

Re: Pipewire doesn't start on startup

pipewire is supposed to be socket activated.
Please post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f
