odd problem with pipewire

i use artix linux with openrc, dwm and pipewire, if i run apps by using dmenu (alt + p), it works perfectly. but if i try to run something by using terminal, it cannot connect to pipewire. if i run ncpamixer, it gives me "Assertion 'c' failed at ../pulseaudio/src/pulse/context.c:1076, function pa\_context\_disconnect(). Aborting." error, if i run pavucontrol it gives "Connection to PulseAudio failed", but when i run pavucontrol from dmenu it just works. same thing with steam and other apps. for things like "java -jar <filename>" i could create script in /usr/bin, but i won't see terminal output then.  


my ~/.local/share/dwm/autostart.sh is:

Code: [Select]
twmnd &
/usr/bin/pipewire &
/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse &
/usr/bin/wireplumber &
/home/archi/.config/myscripts/wall.sh &
/home/archi/.config/myscripts/bar.sh &
setxkbmap -layout us,ru -option grp:win_space_toggle
i tried to use pulseaudio, but there were other problems, so i use pipewire 

and if i start pipewire from terminal, then ncpamixer works fine, but only in that terminal instance

i'd be very thankful if someone could help me figuring this out
