Can’t say I know for sure maybe pulseaudio is conflicting with pipewire. . . they’re both running and you only need one of these for your audio to work. I’m sure that’s the issue I’ve had in the past. Get rid of pulse audio . . . I think pipewire is all you need. . . I could be wrong though. . . . you can always reinstall the package you remove. Try that for starters.

Hi rich52

It says that only PipeWire is running

  Sound Server-1: PulseAudio v: 16.1 running: no
  Sound Server-2: PipeWire v: 0.3.67 running: yes

Anyways, this is the only one issue I have with EoS but annoying.

See if your wireless headphones are disconnected in pulseaudio. . . if they are connect them and then see if everything works. . . .I’ve got an old pair of Logitech wireless headphones and I think I’ve had to mess around with settings in both. . . I could be wrong once again. My headphones do work but I have to activate them once they are on by pushing a button on the side until I get a squack from them indicating that they are communicating with the sensor in my USB port.

May I ask you if you’re using a 6+ kernel?

Briefly: I’ve faced a very similar problem with HDMI audio since kernel 6x:
Not really solved it yet, but found a workaround using linux-rt-lts kernel, which is still a ‘5.15.96.61’:

sudo pacman -S linux-rt-lts linux-rt-lts-headers
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Ref:

My educated guess for now is ‘blame it on kernel 6*’.

Hope this can help,
Piero
