Pipewire won't start

When I start pipewire in terminal its showing:

[W][00527.111366] pw.conf      | [          conf.c:  413 conf_load()] 0x5fe8aabbefd0: error loading config '/etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/10-wireplumber.conf': Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu

The problem is that those config files are empty and I don't know what is supposed to be in them.

Re: Pipewire won't start

Those are created by "yourself" you can just remove them so the defaults in /usr/share/pipewire take priority.

Yup, error gone. But still no sound is playing and when I start wireplumber it says Failed to connect to pipewire.

Re: Pipewire won't start

You're not supposed to start these yourself anyway, they'd be handled by the systemd user session. Which session are you starting and how are you starting it? If anything via startx make sure you follow the blue notes in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit#xinitrc

Re: Pipewire won't start

I have runit service managment. I added script which start '/usr/bin/pipewire' into '/etc/runit/sv/pipewire' and '/run/runit/service/pipewire' and everytime I start this service its calling timeout. I also tried to start pipewire adding exec to .xinitrc but still it is not starting.

Re: Pipewire won't start

So you're most likely not actually running Arch? If there's one thing that's pretty much a hard dependency on Arch it's systemd and many parts of the system are tailored towards it's presence.
