Thanks.

Same answer. It's not an error message, only info. You can ignore it. Pipewire is not active by default in Bullseye.

You don't seem to have a problem. Your audio is working. You are using PulseAudio which is the default in Bullseye, not PipeWire. I also get the same informational message for which you started the topic, it is unimportant.
Code: Select all
systemctl mask pipewire.service
Code: Select all
$ sudo systemctl mask pipewire.service
Unit pipewire.service does not exist, proceeding anyway.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/pipewire.service → /dev/null.
Code: Select all
$ systemctl --user mask pipewire.service
Created symlink /home/xxx/.config/systemd/user/pipewire.service → /dev/null.

$ systemctl --user mask pipewire.socket
Ooops, fixed in above post. Glad you got the gist.
I'm sure it must have some purpose but I have NFI what it is. The ways of Debian are sometimes dark and mysterious.Not sure why pipewire programs installed if not required, at least I would expect them to be inactive.
Could I have stopped some current audio function that I have not used yet in this Debian version?
Anyway thanks a lot for members time.

Masking a service prevents it from starting but will not also stop it. You need to specifically do systemctl stop whatever.service or reboot.Theuthr wrote: ↑2023-02-10 00:23 Pipewire;-returnsCode: Select all

there is also a pipewire-pulse in /usr/bin/ (Shared library)
