From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

yes, but when I go to start the service this is what it outputs: Failed to start pipewire.service: Unit pipewire.service not found.
Are you using sudo? The pipewire/pipewire-pulse/wireplumber services only exist for users.
systemctl --user enable --now pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber
Make sure that the services are not masked, and use apt reinstall pipewire if necessary.
my electricity got cut off for like 10 hours and after it came back, it fixed itself. It still does it after every restart so I run systemctl --user restart pipewire.service and it fixes itself
Are there any logs from startup indicating a potential issue here? You can see all warnings and errors since boot with journalctl -p 4 -xb.
couldn't find anything in particular, there are just pages and pages of logs. My only solution is to restart the audio services everytime I boot in.
