I misunderstood, but I thought you had it installed.

I did not tell you to uninstall pipewire-pulseaudio. Rather, I said that it was strange that;
1. pipewire-spa-plugins 2. pipewire-modules
didn't demand for pipewire. These are important files.
[...] PS> reinstalled pipewire-pulseaudio which brough pulseaudio-setup, but

This is because you installed pulseaudio-setup.
no, I get the same response w/o pulseaudio-setup installed.

The current problem is that
1. pipewire-spa-plugins 2. pipewire-modules
do not appear with rpm -q --whatrequires.
In my case;
$ rpm -q --whatrequires pipewire-modules pipewire-0.3.45-lp153.30.17.x86_64
rpm -q --whatrequires pipewire-modules-0_3 pipewire-0.3.45-1.1.x86_64 libpipewire-0_3-0-0.3.45-1.1.x86_64 rpm -q --whatrequires pipewire-spa-plugins-0_2 pipewire-aptx-0.3.45-1.1.x86_64 pipewire-0.3.45-1.1.x86_64 libpipewire-0_3-0-0.3.45-1.1.x86_64 I do not recall ever posting those two requirements, only rpm -q pipewire and reinstalling pipewire-pulseaudio requires pipewire-setup tks -- (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?
