I have the following packages:

    pipewire-alsa 1:0.3.38-1.1
    pipewire-jack 1:0.3.38-1.1
    pipewire-jack-dropin 3-2
    pipewire-media-session 1:0.3.38-1.1
    pipewire-pulse 1:0.3.38-1.1
As well as

    systemctl --user enable \
      pipewire.service \
      pipewire-media-session.service \
      pipewire-pulse.service
and everything works great. I really like that I can use qjackctl to route every audio app nowadays.

What do I need to remove to get this working without any conflicts?

You mentioned qjackctl, is there a reason I must keep using that instead of having everything defaulted to PW pipe

Everything uses PW pipe.

Pipewire implements the API of all the system it replaces. So you can keep using Jack routing tools while everything is actually using Pipewire.

Does `systemctl --user disable --now pulseaudio` help? Also you can use `enable --now` to enable and start at the same time.

Don't forget to mask pulseaudio, just disabling it isn't enough.

The difference seems to be:

disabled - the service is not started automatically

masked - the service can't be started at all, even explicitly requested by user or app

On Ubuntu at least, I had to mask it otherwise pulseaudio was started again on reboot despite being disabled.
