Hey.. I don't find these as services... I personally run them manually at the start of my plasma session. I have the same problem.

the fact that people in the upstream bug report are using systemd and seeing this issue would suggest that it's probably not solved by doing that

so it's an upstream pipewire issue ?

I took services from https://github.com/Johnnynator/dotfiles/tree/master/.sv

`/etc/sv/runsvdir-oggy/run` contains following
you just change `USER` and `HOME`

```sh
#!/bin/sh
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/1000"
export USER="oggy"
export HOME="/home/oggy"

groups="$(id -Gn "$USER" | tr ' ' ':')"
svdir="$HOME/.sv/service"

exec chpst -u "$USER:$groups" runsvdir "$svdir"

Thanks for the quick reply, so it seems Plasma 6 couldn't handle having a PipeWire connection start *after* the session is started. Makes sense as I was also starting PipeWire through session autostart, which is the recommended way to do it in the Void wiki. Maybe we could include runit user services for PipeWire and Wireplumber and edit the wiki to redirect people to use them instead? Seems like a cleaner way to me, and most probably what most desktop environments expect.

You can set PipeWire to start WirePlumber and pipewire-pulse as child processes, so I think this service alone should be enough. Thanks a lot.

if you do that you need to kill those processes when stopped:
```
cat .config/service/pipewire/control/t 
#!/bin/sh
[ -r supervise/pid ] && kill -TERM -$(cat supervise/pid)
```
