Pipewire not detecting any devices

Q&A
1

Just installed clear linux and i wanted to replace pulseaudio with pipewire. I managed to stop pulseaudio services and start pipewire, but its not detecing any devices.

pactl output:

Server String: /run/user/1000/pulse/native
Library Protocol Version: 34
Server Protocol Version: 35
Is Local: yes
Client Index: 39
Tile Size: 65472
User Name: sliwka
Host Name: clearlinux
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.64)

Default Sample Specification: float32le 2ch 48000Hz
Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right
Default Sink: @DEFAULT_SINK@

The pipewire service seems to be running without any issues.

Jan 28 15:31:39 clearlinux systemd[18569]: Started PipeWire Multimedia Service.

pactl list sinks and cards outputs nothing
