So I re-installed arch recently, and wanted to use gnome. But my sound isin't working. I picked pipewire as I dont really stream/record. I think its the fact that I used a VGA monitor without sound and the drivers are mixed up. When I go to the terminal, ONLY IT emits sound. My games (Roblox for my sis when she plays, Steam/TF2 & Retroarch) don't have sound. I tried installing/re-installing it but i get an error that 'pipewire.service dosen't exist' (Also PLEASE ignore that i typed 'emable' the first time ToT)
#Sound not working on gnome
