Currently while updating, there is a package conflict going on between pipewire-media-session and wireplumber while updating which prevents finishing the update successfully as Pacman can’t handle this type of conflicts.
Wireplumber is a drop-in replacement for pipewire-media-session, which is going to be featured by Garuda from now on as Arch made it possible (thus being dependency of our pipewire-support meta package). While the replacement is seemless, this package conflict still needs to be solved prior to updating.
So, what does this mean for you?
Update!
If you are on one of the newer version of Garuda Update: just run update as usual. The command will take care of everything by itself (namely, removing pipewire-media-session and updating afterwards)
If you aren’t on one of the newer versions of Garuda Update: sudo pacman -Sy garuda-update && update (the same as before, just updating the script beforehand)
If you prefer to do things manually: sudo pacman -Rdd pipewire-media-session && sudo pacman -Syu
warning: cannot resolve "pipewire-session-manager", a dependency of "pipewire-common-v4l2-git"
warning: cannot resolve "pipewire-v4l2", a dependency of "pipewire-support"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
pipewire-support
:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N]
I thought so but I don't actually have pipewire-common-v4l2-git installed, it's trying to pull it I guess as a new dependency of pipewire-support
Edit: SOLVED
Cloned pipewire-common-v4l2-git
Edited its PKGBUILD to depend on wireplumber instead of pipewire-session-manager (line 180 btw)
Built pipewire-common-v4l2-git
Reinstalled pipewire-support successfully
Still don't know if this is an edge case caused by some -git packages I didn't notice I had, but whatever, audio works now. If anyone else faces this do report
running update doesn't automaticly take care of this for me here is my output

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
There's a few things going on here, but I think the main thing is that until wireplumber is installed and correctly provides for pipewire-media-session that it replaces, a bunch of other packages including kwin are going to want to hold on to the latter. That's why using -Rdd works, it ignores the broken dependencies
Update only takes care of this if you have media session and pipewire-support installed. If you manual set up your pipewire or something it won't take care of the conflict.
As I tried updating it by every method the same error accurse. All it did is uninstalling pipeware but I cant install Wireplumber

my system came with pulse as my original install was a few months ago. I installed pipewire support by using the option in the garuda assistant which I belive just does sudo pacman -S pipewire-support and removes some pulse stuff.
Typical, when the conflict appeared a couple days ago, I went for removing wireplumber.
-Rdd pipewire-media-session then installing wireplumber appears to have worked for me to switch.
Props on the quick announcement, though in an ideal world, would have announcement prior to conflict arising.
