I used to have to occasionally run this but I'd say it has been at least a couple of years since I last had to. I was a pretty early adopter of pipewire because it solved some Bluetooth issues that pulseaudio had. It has improved immensely since I first started using it.

    To be fair (with pipewire*) my audio issues usually related to HDMI audio output which has been a PITA for like 20 years since the days of Xbox 360.

    I started using PipeWire as soon as Arch switched the recommended default and I agree, it cleared up a lot of issues and fixed my Bluetooth headset, which was nice.

    My 3.5mm issues are complicated by the scenario where I have a extension cable always plugged in but not always my headphone cable (sennheisers stock cables aren't super long)

    I just wanted to add this as a "to be fair" and there is a element of "user error" where I just haven't put enough time in to really learn pipewire.

    Well last night I resolved my problems by making sure to kill all processed owned by the greeter (as seen in my other post thanks to OP^^)

    `killall -u greeter'

    Now I can enjoy my Ubuntu startup sound in peace /s /volume-warning
