Greetings, while trying out pipewire and pulseaudio on my new gentoo install, I have found that neither of them work, and I am unsure how to solve the issues. I do not know all information I need to post, but here is some:

output of 'lspci':

Thank you for your help.

I Think you are trying to start multible pulseaudio/pipewire-instances at the same time
What DM/DE/compositor are you using?
If you are using a stupid compositor/WM
Code:
killall -u $(whoami) # kills all your applications be aware of that!
export $(dbus-launch)
gentoo-pipewire-launcher &
start$compositor


Otherwise:
Could you post:
Code:
reboot
ps -ef | grep pipewire
ps -ef | grep pulseaudio
/usr/bin/pavucontrol*

Thank you, my problem has been solved by following the pipewire entry on the Gentoo wiki more closely and adding the pulseaudio use flag in make.conf and reemerging @world.
