  (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)`

so looks like pulseaudio has been replaced by pipewire-pulseaudio

so do i remove pipewire-pulseaudio for pulseaudio?

thanks,
rob

@robina80 - try installing the pipewire module instead:-

Clone the repository using the git client of your choice.

thanks @matt335672 i have done this and run the commands, all ran smoothly, i will restart and let you know if i have sound now

no joy, how can i check what version of pipewire-pulseaudio is on this server

[matt335672]

pipewire-pulseaudio is not relevant for xrdp. You have to use the pipewire subsystem or the pulseaudio subsystem.

By default Alma 9 will use pipewire but you can still use pulseaudio if you want:-

The subsystem you use depends on your requirements.

Use the rpm -q command to check package versions.
