When selecting the screen to stream in discord (vesktop), the client freezes with the error:
[venmic] [error] [patchbay] (init) pw_receiver failed to respond within 1 second, aborting

Welcome @Slapdoge to the forum,

Reading on the net about your issue.

  • Do you use Pulse or Pipewire.

In case, for installing Pipewire do…

sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire

It removes Pulseaudio during process.

After installing Pipewire.

systemctl --user restart pipewire
systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse

For some user this helped.

geany ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf

add this to the file to adjust the node.latency parameter to a lower value.

context.properties = {
    node.latency = 256/48000
}

After switching to pipewire, whenever I open apps, they start see through and then like 30s later they show. The volume controller doesn’t work anymore and there is no audio at all. What should I do?

Weird… I disabled the compositor and it now is fine

And re-enabled and is still fine!
