#/etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf #is not there so i can't change to 24 bit 96khz audio.
is there a new location for such files or a different file pointed to ?

Test

pacman -Qi pipewire

Config files in

/usr/share/pipewire/client-rt.conf
/usr/share/pipewire/client.conf
/usr/share/pipewire/filter-chain/demonic.conf
/usr/share/pipewire/filter-chain/sink-dolby-surround.conf
/usr/share/pipewire/filter-chain/sink-eq6.conf
/usr/share/pipewire/filter-chain/sink-matrix-spatialiser.conf
/usr/share/pipewire/filter-chain/source-rnnoise.conf
/usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf
/usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf

IDK this /etc/... path, but I have no idea about pipewire.

Please check if the solution in the last post of this arch forum thread works
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=267049
I don't know if it is really necessary to copy into /etc or updating /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf could be enough...

You don’t want to edit the files in /usr/share/pipewire/* directly. Those files will be overwritten every time the package updates.

Create the file yourself with the specific settings you want to add. You can also create a local user configuration file at $HOME/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.

This information is also at the top of the /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf file:

# Daemon config file for PipeWire version "0.3.31" #
#
# Copy and edit this file in /etc/pipewire for systemwide changes
# or in ~/.config/pipewire for local changes.

You might consider reading the Arch wiki page about PipeWire for other information, tips, etc.
