Pulseaudio / Pipewire problem

Sometimes , pulse or pipewire does not start correctly when i start a desktop.
I pavucontrol i see all my hardware devices.
But "firefox www.youtube.com" creactes no "output" as seen by pavontrol. Advise on how to force restart or change pulse configs. Respawn or not. Timeout or not .
 
I have this problem using Sway, the problem solved using a startup script, fixed run stage for pipewire and pipewire-pulse (I'm not using pulseaudio daemon) and personal config ($HOME/.config) for wireplumber and pulseaudio (autospawn = no).

The most important configs are ($HOME/.config/pulse/client.conf):

default-sink = oss_output.dsp3
default-source = oss_input.dsp3
; default-server =
; default-dbus-server =

autospawn = no
; daemon-binary = /usr/local/bin/pulseaudio
; extra-arguments = --log-target=syslog

; cookie-file =

; enable-shm = yes
; shm-size-bytes = 0 # setting this 0 will use the system-default, usually 64 MiB

; auto-connect-localhost = no
; auto-connect-display = no

And startup service for sway

Code: 
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Usamos pgrep -u para buscar solo procesos del usuario actual
run_once() {
    pgrep -u "$USER" -x "$1" > /dev/null || ("$@" &)
}

# Servicios de Audio
run_once pipewire
run_once pipewire-pulse
run_once musicpd "$HOME/.config/mpd/mpd.conf"
 
Hi
In my
session-common.sh
file, I have:

# PulseAudio
Code: 
pgrep -x pulseaudio >/dev/null 2>&1 || \
 pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog &

I have sound without any bugs, and I can control it without any problems using the XF86 keys.
