Troubleshooting • Re: [Raspberry Pi 5][PulseAudio] Able to connect bluetooth speaker to raspberry pi, but I am unable to playback audio

I removed pipewire and I am still having issues. I typed pulseaudio and I got this error:

E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.

My device (bluetooth speaker) is currently connected to the pi.
