Pipewire and pulseaudio

Chat about Zorin

Just wondering why I have processes running for both pipewire and pulseaudio?

If both are installed, then both may be called on by applications. Do you have pipewire-pulse installed?

I don't remember installing either. I thought they must have come standard with ZorinOS.

I am wondering the same. Saw today both processes running. I definitely haven't installed anything regarding pulsewire or pulseaudio.

That is my output of apt of these two:
