I am using Archlinux with sway (wayland) as a window manager and pipewire as an audio processor. From what I've seen zoom supports both wayland and pipewire at least separately from one another, but in my case I get the following output (see below).
Judging from the output it seems the only problem zoom has is missing `pacmd` command. However, `pacmd` is only available in the pulseaudio package and it looks like zoom does not understand that it needs to use pipewire. Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this? Is there an option somewhere to help zoom with recognition? Or maybe the problem is entirely different?

I'm experiencing the same behavior (Arch linux, sway, pipewire). For zoom devs, consider using pactl to accomplish pulse audio interaction rather than pacmd. pactl is supported by pipewire-pulse whereas pacmd is only supported by pulseaudio proper. IOW, pacmd is a dead-end and pactl should be used instead, if at all possible? Thanks!

I don't know about ArchLinux, but on Fedora, I can simply install pulseaudio-utils package (that's separate from main pulseaudio package). That gives me the /usr/bin/pactl and /usr/bin/pacmd binaries that Zoom wants.

I too am having this issue. Zoom crashes immediately upon startup before I can click anything. Also using Arch+Sway+Pipewire. Any thoughts/solutions would be amazing.
@dmierzej there is no pulseaudio-utils package on Arch so I'm at a bit of a loss. Are you using that package but on Wayland?

I'm also on Arch+Sway+Pipewire and experiencing exactly the same behavior. Any solution/workaround would be much appreciated.

Shot in the dark but are you on an nvidia card? If so, it may be related to this issue: https://community.zoom.com/t5/Meetings/Linux-Regarding-Nvidia-Xwayland-Wayland/m-p/72922
I thought the pacmd error was the cause of the crashing on my system but it turned out to be a red herring. The main cause was this issue with nvidia.

Yes, I'm on a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile card. Thanks for the link, I'll follow the thread!
