I think I mentioned it before, I installed apulse, created .asoundrc in my ~/ and I have not had any sound problems since.
apulse is not pulseaudio, it is alsa.

I like old FF design and functions so i was using Classic Theme Restorer.
I'm using Waterfox to this very day with that very addon. I have never used pulseaudio with Artix, but i have apulse just in case.

Sorry for necro, trying to remove pulseaudio but
Code: [Select]
$ pacman -R pulseaudio
complains that gnome-settings-daemon, paprefs, pulseaudio-alsa and pulseaudio-bluetooth depend on it. In return, gnome-bluetooth depends on pulseaudio-bluetooth. Is there a way to remove pulseaudio without having to recompile the entire GNOME from source?

one way is to force pacman to remove package without caring for deps.
If you do so you can get broken system (GNOME and such)

If you are brave enough, you can try:

How can I get rid of pulse audio and still keep firefox?

Gday
I am one week into using artix

My solution after removing Pulse audio
was to use LibreWolf instead of Default Firefox or Waterfox Classic

LibreWolf works in ALSA only mode
It also supports disable third party cookies
It also works with ublock origin + noscript

I got it from AUR (pamac)
https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/

Ohh, thanks for advice the librewolf, it's similar as ungoogled-chromium project. I will test it and probably i add this to our Artix's universe repo . 👍👍👍

Awesome , cheers

Since Waterfox sold its soul to another corporate company I was looking for a new browser
I actually first got told about it on IRC
then came across this video on censortube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lnG-YD_qNQ
Gave it a go and very impressed

It has some copy paste issues with gab.com, but besides that, everything else works
and it doesnt need PULSE AUDIO

At this point I would just recommend  Four browsers

*  LibreWolf  - https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/
*  Iridium - https://iridiumbrowser.de/
* ungoogled chromium - https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium
* Librefox over the top Tor Browser - https://github.com/intika/Librefox
https://www.ghacks.net/2018/12/24/librefox-firefox-with-privacy-enhancements/

I would get rid of
default tor
default chrome
default Firefox
default brave


Can we trust ANY corporation globally anymore ?

If you add Librewolf to Universe I will be the first to install it. I will be appreciate. I don't want to install more packages from AUR.

LibreWolf delivered to the universe, pulseaudio is optional

I just used

pacman -Rc pulseaudio
That got rid of gnome-control-center and gnome-tweaks, but since I already switched to dwm and suckless tools in the meantime, I don't mind as much anymore. For videos/Youtube I either use Vivaldi or
