New comment by lemmi on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/38189#issuecomment-1192649422 Comment: In the recent versions, the default `pipewire-pulse.conf` added a call to `pactl`. Removing that also solves the permissions problem. ```bash cp /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf /etc/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf ``` Then comment out the line ``` { path = "pactl" args = "load-module module-always-sink" } ```
