Found out there was another instance of the program running, so there were logs when i re-ran it:

(easyeffects:3209): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:10:05.510: Unknown key gtk-modules in /home/ana/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini

(easyeffects:3209): Adwaita-WARNING **: 16:10:05.546: Using GtkSettings:gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme with libadwaita is unsupported. Please use AdwStyleManager:color-scheme instead.

(easyeffects:3209): easyeffects-ERROR **: 16:10:05.596: pipe_manager.cpp:1463 context connection failed

This error means that easyeffects was unable to connect to any pipewire audio server. Usually, this happens because pipewire crashed, or you might simply still be using pulseaudio.

Can you share the output of pacmd info and pw-cli list-remotes ?

pacmd and pw-cli are pulseaudio's and pipewire's command line interfaces, respectively

or you might simply still be using pulseaudio

If the package pipewire-pulse is not installed Pulseaudio is probably still in the system.

Install the meta package manjaro-pipewire, this should do the trick and it handles all the dependencies for you.

EDIT: easyeffects should consider implementing a check on startup, or giving feedback if it runs into the timeout. At least it shouldn't fail by being invisible and hanging in the background silently.
