Unable to unmask pipewire-pulse.socket

[Marcelo Laia]

I followed the instructions here [1] and [2] to install pipewire audio
support.

However, it's unable to unmask pipewire-pulse.socket.

I tried:

:~$ systemctl --user --now enable pipewire{,-pulse}.{socket,service} filter-chain.service
Failed to enable unit: Unit file /etc/xdg/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.socket is masked.

:~$ systemctl --user --now enable pipewire pipewire-pulse
Failed to enable unit: Unit file /etc/xdg/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.service is masked.

If I run:

:~$ systemctl --user unmask pipewire.service

nothing is output

After here, I'm unable to unmask it.
