[SOLVED] Sound problems

Hello, I’ve been using Linux for about a week, I’m happy with everything and everything works, but I managed to break the system. When installing the system, I chose pipewire as the sound, then I decided to install pulseaudio and everything broke, at first only the sound in the firefox browser broke, the videos did not start to turn on, I tried to fix it by installing plugins, it didn’t work, I decided to put pipewire back, it seems like I thought it would replace pulseaudio, In general, there is no sound in the browser, plus the system does not see the microphone, there is sound in the system itself. Is it possible to somehow check with a command what I have installed, remove what is unnecessary and how to install sound from scratch. I like the system, it’s beautiful, I use Gnome, I set everything up beautifully and I wouldn’t want to reinstall it. Thank you all for your help and understanding.

[aitow_@archlinux ~]$ sudo pacman -S pipewire-pulse

:: pipewire-pulse and pulseaudio are in conflict. Remove pulseaudio? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing pulseaudio breaks dependency 'pulseaudio=16.1-7' required by pulseaudio-equalizer

I removed pulseaudio-equalizer and everything helped

Re: [SOLVED] Sound problems

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … ire-pulse/

pacman -Qs 'pipewire|pulse'

the first couple of seconds after the reboot everything works, and then it fails again, maybe I can show some logs, or a list of packages using some command? knowledgeable people can immediately see the problem

Re: [SOLVED] Sound problems

Knowlegeable people can quite possibly see a problem in the suggested pacman output…
If not, knowlegeable people would probably ask for a system journal.

I removed pulseaudio-equalizer and everything helped, in any case, after a reboot everything works, I didn’t immediately see that there was an error. True, due to inexperience I almost removed the dependencies, but I saw it in time. Thanks anyway for your help, how can I close this topic?
