PipeWire not working since installing Hyprland

Hi everyone,
My pipewire has recently stopped working. The main issue is that org.pulseaudio.Server is already taken even though the only systemd is launching pipewire and nothing else.

```
$ systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse
● pipewire-pulse.service - PipeWire PulseAudio
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Mon 2024-12-30 17:30:17 CET; 11min ago
Invocation: b2cc19ddefd14f44b4fdc36cefa45f89
TriggeredBy: ● pipewire-pulse.socket
   Main PID: 4508 (pipewire-pulse)
      Tasks: 3 (limit: 18780)
     Memory: 1.4M (peak: 1.8M)

     CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/session.slice/pipewire-pulse.service
             └─4508 /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse

Dec 30 17:30:17 riccardo systemd[537]: Started PipeWire PulseAudio.
Dec 30 17:30:18 riccardo pipewire-pulse[4508]: mod.protocol-pulse: D-Bus name org.pulseaudio.Server already taken.
```

I have tried to restart pipewire, pipewire-pulse, wireplumber etc several times and in different ways, I have tried to debug the issue in countless ways, my Arch is up-to-date and I have specifically reinstalled pipewire etc, but still no results.

Please help!
