    Whats good in Solus is that all supported package for Pipewire is installed by default and i just switched to it..so far so good..especially in bluetooth codecs and headset which support mSBC wideband speech !

    I'm using Solus KDE.

      1. Enable (without having to run under sudo) the user PipeWire service and socket with: systemctl --user enable pipewire.
      2. When continue with the user PipeWire PulseAudio: systemctl --user enable pipewire-pulse.
      3. And the PipeWire Multimedia Service Session Manager: systemctl --user enable pipewire-media-session
      4. Disable the PulseAudio socket and service with: systemctl --user disable pulseaudio pulseaudio.socket
      5. Install the pipewire-jack package if you want to test JACK support.
      6. Reboot

          George abimagnus As I said on my previous reply it works great. I just noticed when I restarted my PC that the services does not start on boot and I have to run the commands in order to have sound. How can I make them start on boot so I don't have to run the commands every time I restart my PC?

                andiskufi Hmm weird did you enable the below services and disable pulse audio?

                systemctl --user enable pipewire-media-session.service
                systemctl --user enable pipewire pipewire-pulse

                For me its sticking at boot and works perfectly !

                    abimagnus Yes I did everything as you said. Anyway it's fine as I had to disable pipewire as I had issue when I was running a game and at the same time playing youtube, I did not have sound on the game. Thanks anyway for your help.

                      If I switch to pipewire, just for testing, is there any application like pavucontrol for it? I know KDE can change audio/application output by itself, but gnome can't.

                        ReillyBrogan Thanks, I'll be testing pipewire this weekend then.
                        I just use pavucontrol because I have more control over which program is using what output... sometimes different sources has to be on different outputs. 😅

                            YuriTheHenrique Based on what I've heard on IRC, it seems Pipewire may conflict with Wine/Proton gaming. So if you experience issues, check if changing to Pulseaudio works 🙂

                              @George Thank you very much for the steps. I can finally use my Bluetooth headphones. With pulse I couldn't use LDAC or AptX, though it should have worked with the newest pulse. The configuration via pavucontrol works very well, so no need to change the tools already familiar with.

                              I think this is a very expected feature right now

                              Ok, I may be a little new on asking this question and sorry if its been asked...

                              Right now in its current state is there any benefit to switching from PulseAudio to Pipewire when all I do is watch movies and listen to streaming music using speakers or wired headphones?

                                Hello & welcome ! 🙂
                                There is a search field on the top navigation bar so you can check if a question was asked already and not be sorry anymore 😛

                                    codewizard1975 Pipewire does offer some better codecs from what I understand, not sure if that's it. I followed this guide and switched because I figured why not and wanted to tinker some.
