Pipewire is not recognizing your devices. You can refer to the Arch wiki regarding pipewire for more info.

why is it that i can still use and control the volume on the devices and that they show up while using waybar?

[Jas-SinghFSU]

I'll have to see your config, but Hyprpanel uses the Astal witeplumber service, which, if it doesn't report devices via pipewire, hyprpanel can't pick em up.

Also, if pipewire is not running, I cannot run this panel, which is new for me

[Jas-SinghFSU]

Pipewire is a required dependency so it will have to be enabled.

[dandenkijin]

Ya, before I updated, even if pw was off, the panel would start and function. now, it must be running, surely that's a regression?

which config would you need to see
