I think so, too.
This is my sound environment;
$ pactl info
Server String: /run/user/1000/pulse/native Library Protocol Version: 35 Server Protocol Version: 35 Is Local: yes Client Index: 65 Tile Size: 65472 User Name: masaru Host Name: linux-egwc Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.45) Server Version: 15.0.0 Default Sample Specification: float32le 2ch 192000Hz Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right Default Sink: alsa_output.usb-D___M_Holdings_Inc._HD-DAC1-00.analog-stereo Default Source: alsa_input.usb-Sony_Corporation_UAB-80-00.mono-fallback Cookie: c81d:1fe6
The pipewire + Maranz HD DAC1 creates a truly stunning soundscape that immerses me in classical music appreciation. In my environment, it can play high-resolution music, but it can also play music ripped from CDs. It's a sound I've never experienced in my nearly 60 years of audio experience, and I listen to it every day, wondering why. It is with this in mind that I am helping you.
Anyway, I'm thinking that the problem you're encountering is due to the fact that piewire-pulseaudio,service is masked.
Please check
$ systemctl list-unit-files .. pipewire-pulseaudio.service masked <-- How about this? ..
there is no existance of pipewire-pulseaudio.service systemctl list-unit-files | grep pulseaudio output is blank from previous: rpm -ql pipewire-pulseaudio /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse /usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.service /usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.socket /usr/share/man/man1/pipewire-pulse.1.gz /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf /var/lib/pipewire/pipewire-pulseaudio_post_workaround ls -la /var/lib/pipewire/pipewire-pulseaudio_post_workaround ls: cannot access '/var/lib/pipewire/pipewire-pulseaudio_post_workaround': No such file or directory -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc What sort of day was it?
