Pipewire / pulseaudio not working

[Mh7tiger]

Greetings, while trying out pipewire and pulseaudio on my new gentoo install, I have found that neither of them work, and I am unsure how to solve the issues. I do not know all information I need to post, but here is some:

Thank you for your help.

I Think you are trying to start multible pulseaudio/pipewire-instances at the same time
What DM/DE/compositor are you using?
If you are using a stupid compositor/WM
