Pipewire update conflicts with puseaudio

Hello!

piperwire-pulse now conflicts with pulseaudio. So I wanted to ask which one to keep? Should I remove all pulseaudio related packages?
I know that pipewire is is a kind of replacement for pulseaudio; but I don’t understand it fully :sweat_smile:

Here is the output when updating my system

I don’t want to bork audio on my system, considering the fact that my online classes for university start in a few days time.

Thanks!

pipewire-pulse is pipewire+pulseaudio… it just need to remove pulseaudio… and as for pulseaudio-bluetooth i dont know :slight_smile:

its a pulseaudio replacement is also like pipewire-alsa , is also a alsa replacement

or just take only pipewire…

It’s hard to say if it’s worth it right now…

Personally i feel it’s still too early to switch for butter-smooth experience of pipewire only, but i haven’t really tested it extensively lately

I’ve installed it and no problems with audio or my bluetooth headphones

I removed pipewire-pulse rather than anything from pulse.
