A systemd user for root has been attempted (pid 577, not 1).
The ConditionUser forbid to start it.

This is a user unit. Use thus: systemctl --user cat
pulseaudio.service
Interesting. How would a global configuration change be implemented, since any
edit made for a user who runs it goes into a user settings directory?
You seem to have pulseaudio installed, but as far as I now, pipewire
should
replace it nowadays.
I'm not against change, but this is a result of several years of system-upgrades,
and I've never seen anything explaining how to make a switch:
# rpm -qa | grep -iE 'pulse|wire'
pulseaudio-libs-16.1-4.fc37.x86_64
pulseaudio-16.1-4.fc37.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-16.1-4.fc37.x86_64
# dnf search pipewire | wc -l

With close to 54 possibilities, it's unlikely I'd choose correctly what to
install,
or whether or which pulse packages to remove. Is there a conversion script available?
Googling
site:fedoraproject.org switch from pulseaudio to pipewire
Produced

that seemed appropriate, but clicking on it loaded

instead. 2nd hit was

but clicking it produced 404. The few remaining I skipped. Searching elsewhere was also
unhelpful. :(
