I can't find any docs on what error -1 from Pulse means. Can you give a little detail on your sound server setup please (ie what software/version, how is it running, etc)?

[fromtheeast710]

@JakeStanger I'm using

alsa-lib 1.2.13-1
libpulse 17.0+r43+g3e2bb8a1e-1
pipewire-pulse 1:1.2.7-1

it works as expected with my waybar config.

[JakeStanger]

Sorry for the delay, finally looking at this.

The error occurs when trying to connect to the Pulse server. It attempts to connect to the default running server, and will not attempt to spawn its own. Perhaps that's the issue?

I'd need to know more about how you are actually running your pipewire-pulse server to be able to debug. Are you running a user or system service? Is it running using a .socket or .service or otherwise? Is it a local server, or running elsewhere? Any non-standard auth?

[fromtheeast710]

I reinstalled my OS recently and am using Artix Linux (Dinit) which has somehow fixed the problem. I was using OpenRC earlier, otherwise I don't remember how pulse is configured.

Thank you for your time.
