Audio works with the VLC media player (via Pipewire to ALSA).

The Audio Volume Plasma Widget says "No output or input devices found".
The following are installed:

Is wireplumber installed?

pulseaudio has been removed.

Thanks.
Andy.

I expect the outcome to be the same, but still. Can you install
pavucontrol and see what it shows?

Can you try creating a blank user account and checking wether it works from there or not?

pavucontrol says it cannot connect to pulseaudio. I am guessing this is because wireplumber > pipewire is now in control; pulseaudio has been removed
and replaced with pipewire-pulse?

Yes but that shouldn’t prevent pulseaudio-anything to work. Pipewire implements the pulseaudio interface natively.

What does pactl info give you ?

For instance I have :
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.2.3)

Yes, seamlessly.
So do you have pipewire-pulse *running*?
