Update pipewire.md #806

Closed MartinGresens closed 3 months ago

MartinGresens commented 4 months ago

You need to start a session manager for pipewire to get access to the sound cards. So i add wireplumber to Launching Automatically.

classabbyamp commented 4 months ago

the instructions before the Starting Automatically section say to set it up so launching pipewire launchers wireplumber.

notably:

Yes but this is only for the configuration not for the autostart. At user level you need

ln -s /usr/share/applications/wireplumber ~/.config/autostart

and systemwide

ln -s /usr/share/applications/wireplumber /etc/xdg/autostart

You shoud put it in the "Session Management" seccion or Launching Automatically

no you don't, because pipewire was configured to start wireplumber. if you do this, you will end up with two wireplumbers.
