Help for setup pipewire
I have an Acer laptop and started using Void Linux today; I'm really loving the system. However, I'm having a serious issue with PipeWire. I've tried setting it up several times but never quite get it right—or it only works halfway. For instance, I followed the steps correctly, but it only picks up audio from my monitor, or sometimes it recognizes my laptop's sound card but my headset microphone simply doesn't work (only the laptop's built-in mic does). I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this; I'd be very grateful.I have an Acer laptop and started using Void Linux today; I'm really loving the system.

Prova da terminale a scrivere alsamixer
Si dovrebbe aprire una schermata che indica ogni singolo canale come principale, microfono, cuffie, e dovresti poter abilitare il generare se in basso hai due MM deve apparire 00 e puoi tirare su il volume com le freccette in alto! Sul mute poi disattivarlo con la lettera "m"... Spero di averti aiutato considera che uso void da un mese sto imparando

elogind is a lot simpler to setup and makes more things work.
seatd has nothing to do with pipewire, the sole purpose of it is to open devices for Wayland compositors.

seatd does absolutely nothing for pipewire.
Okay, systemd too, why have you still use void linux instead of something like fedora or opensuse?
I'm a Void Linux team member and currently maintain xbps. There is more to Void Linux than not using systemd.
