Out of the blue pipewire failed to me. No output devices could be found, while playing directly via alsa gives me output. I then upgraded pipewire to 9999, and remerged wireplumber. When removing the pipewire files in .config (rebooting). The installation instructions fail to work. skinkie@thinkpad ~ $ systemctl --user enable pipewire.socket pipewire-pulse.socket Failed to enable unit: Unit file /home/skinkie/.config/systemd/user/sockets.target.wants/pipewire.socket does not exist. skinkie@thinkpad ~ $ systemctl --user --force enable wireplumber.service Failed to enable unit: Unit file /home/skinkie/.config/systemd/user/pipewire.service.wants/wireplumber.service does not exist. Pipewire has been merged with systemd support.

When connecting an USB audio device, the sink does appear for that device. And is capable of receiving audio.
There's at least two different issues being conflated. `systemctl --user enable` not working is almost certainly not a PipeWire but a systemd issue and should be addressed as such. Regarding missing devices I would suggest manually restarting the user services with `systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl --user restart pipewire{,-pulse}.socket` and if that resolves the issue, then a likely cause is that something was using the missing device(s) when PipeWire was initially started (often GDM). In such cases removing the audio group from all users who have it, may help but there's been unverified reports that rarely such race conditions still happen even with only ACL in place and no audio group being used.

There is a single user in the audio group, that is myself. My issue is exclusively related to my internal sound card. The USB sound cards that I have tried, don't have issues. When applying your restart commands I end up with audio into the dummy output. Ok... so when trying to figure this out and starting pavucontrol-qt. I noticed that my profile was on "Analog Stereo Input" instead of "Analog Stereo Duplex". That resolves at least the audio problem.
Is there any remaining PW or audio issues then? It seems like you already found the issue and corrected it yourself (on-board audio being set to an input only profile). If there's no more problems remaining, I suggest closing this as fixed or not a bug (since it was working as configured).

The problem is still: if all pipewire stuff is removed from .config/systemd/user, it cannot be installed without manual intervention. I think that part should still be checked?
I'm not sure what's going on there but it's very unlikely to be a PW issue. Instead, I think, it's something to do with systemd and should be addressed in a different bug that's specifically about sys-apps/systemd.
