I did what was said in the wiki. Emerge pipewire and wireplumber, added myself to the audio groups, modified pipewire.conf. Edited .xinitrc so that pipewire starts along with dwm. owever, it seems like I haven't set pipewire up correctly. LANG=C pactl info | grep "Server Name" gives output Server Name: pulseaudio.
Running pipewire-pulse gives [E][00609.790801] mod.protocol-pulse | [ utils.c: 68 get_runtime_dir()] mkdir() /run/user/0/pulse failed: No such file or directory [W][00609.790822] mod.protocol-pulse | [ server.c: 998 servers_create_and_start()] pulse-server 0x561aa6c46ef0: failed to parse address 'unix:native': No such file or directory [E][00609.790831] mod.protocol-pulse | [ pulse-server.c: 5532 pw_protocol_pulse_new()] 0x561aa6c46ef0: no servers could be started: No such file or directory [E][00609.790897] pw.conf | [ conf.c: 584 load_module()] 0x561aa6c2f600: could not load mandatory module "libpipewire-module-protocol-pulse": No such file or directory [E][00609.791134] default | [ pipewire.c: 105 main()] failed to create context: No such file or directory [1]+ Exit 127 gentoo-wireplumber-launcher

I dunno why it cant find its modules, since i used the correct use flags and followed the wiki exactly

Perhaps you haven't enabled pulse support on pipewire and installed pulseaudio-daemon instead. Also you need to tell if you're using openrc or systemd.

How do I enable pulse support on pipewire?

#

I'm sorry if i didnt follow the wiki correctly, audio isnt really my thing

You need to install pipewire with sound-server use flag enabled.
