Problems installing pipewire-pulse, please help.

When i try to install pipewire-pulse it shows this error:

Code: [Select]
$~: sudo pacman -S pipewire-pulse
[sudo] password for luis: 
resolving dependencies...
:: There are 2 providers available for libmysofa.so=1-64:
:: Repository world
   1) libmysofa
:: Repository extra
   2) libmysofa

Enter a number (default=1): 1
looking for conflicting packages...
:: pipewire-pulse-1:1.0.7-2.1 and pulseaudio-17.0-3 are in conflict. Remove pulseaudio? [y/N] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: pipewire-pulse-1:1.0.7-2.1 and pulseaudio-17.0-3 are in conflict


But i cannot remove pulseaudio either:

Code: [Select]
$~: sudo pacman -R pulseaudio    
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing pulseaudio breaks dependency 'pulseaudio' required by pulseaudio-alsa
:: removing pulseaudio breaks dependency 'pulseaudio=17.0-3' required by pulseaudio-bluetooth
:: removing pulseaudio breaks dependency 'pulseaudio=17.0-3' required by pulseaudio-zeroconf

I don't want to remove things if it breaks something, please help.

Repeat the first part of what you did but answer y to
Remove pulseaudio? [y/N]

You can't simply remove pulseaudio as you tried because other packages depend on it.
But pipewire-pulse 'provides' pulseaudio so it will work so long as you answer y

If y press "y" (yes) it just shows this error message:

It's the same problem with those dependencies, i had this problem before but it's better to ask things step by step.

Remove pulseaudio-zeroconf first
Then try again.

It's in the wiki but you need to run
pipewire, pipewire-pulse & wireplumber

How you do that depends on how you start X or whyland.

Thank you sound is working now  :)  (i actually saw the list of commands on another post you answered xD)

I'm using XFCE with lighdm as a login manager, i guess i have to use an autostart script on ~/.config/autostart/ to start the audio services, thanks again for the help.
