Sir, it’s 2024, not 2006.

Pipewire is a more modern replacement for pulseaudio.

I have never heard of alsa. Pipewire is supposed to be the better pulseaudio is it not?

Alsa is the very base of the Linux audio system. Pipewire and pulseaudio run on top of it. Back before pulseaudio it was directly used by software
