I think Eric's problem is that his 15.5. is too old, and I think that updating the whole system, including Multimedia, will solve it. In other words, Pacman's maintainer is to provide the latest kodi that users want, assuming they keep 15.5 up-to-date, and I think users should be aware of this.

We just need to know what kodi is looking at to determine whether to use pipewire or pulseaudio. You can use; $ systemctl --user stop pipewire pipewire.socket or $ systemctl --user disable pipewire pipewire.socket What happens?

Wouldn't a script (say, kodi.sh) like the following solve the problem? #! /bin/sh kodi --audio-backend=pulseaudio Anyway, I like the sound via pipewire very much and enjoy music everyday.
