Thanks for answering! I’m banging my head against this proverbial wall for hours.

Here’s the output of your command:

Here’s the pipewire-pulse version

<span style="color:#323232;">haui@haui-TowerPC:/usr/share/pipewire$ pipewire-pulse --version
</span><span style="color:#323232;">pipewire-pulse
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Compiled with libpipewire 0.3.65
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Linked with libpipewire 0.3.65
</span>

Here’s the pipewire-media-session version output:

<span style="color:#323232;">haui@haui-TowerPC:/usr/share/pipewire$ pipewire-media-session --version
</span><span style="color:#323232;">pipewire-media-session
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Compiled with libpipewire 0.3.65
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Linked with libpipewire 0.3.65
</span>

output of wireplumber --version

<span style="color:#323232;">haui@haui-TowerPC:/usr/share/pipewire$ wireplumber --version
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Command 'wireplumber' not found, but can be installed with:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt install wireplumber
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span>

So I recon the first two are installed, wireplumber isnt (in fact I think uninstalling it was part of reverting to pipewire iirc.

Here’s more random output someone on a forum asked for:
