Haven't rid the whole chain but seems like yje service ain't happy being ran as a root user, am I wrong? "ConditionUser=!root was not met"
Whether it matters or not varies. It shouldn't, as what the superuser cannot do shouldn't be expected that any other user can do. It seems pipewire is the absolute no-can-do for root sound, as alsa and pulseaudio seem to be OK with it, but it may be there's a path through the sound component maze enabling pipewire that I simply haven't stumbled onto yet. That said, in testing and setting up I keep multiple Konsole tabs open for the different purposes that may or may not require su permission. I don't like using su, su - or sudo. It's not clear to me how systemctl syntax with --global and --user is supposed to actually work, so typically I run enable/disable using both parameters as root, and for status at a root prompt. I've tried several times over the months to learn a way to override ConditionUser=!root, but so far I haven't found an instruction I've been able to make work. It's hard to decipher what's actually in control when asking for something from speakers. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
