I've disabled the pipewire service and the wireplumber service, but I

the moment where pulse manager keeps crashing. I might try a reinstall
of all pulseaudio packages if I can, and see if that improves things.
I can't uninstall either application as uninstallation of both
applications want to uninstall Gnome Shell which is protected from
uninstalling.
There's that dnf swap command which is supposed to take care of
replacing one package with the other. It ought to avoid the system
wanting to remove Gnome.
e.g. dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire (or something very much like that).
Considering pulseaudio is being deprecated, maybe you should try seeing
if pipewire works better for you.
I also tried "sudo dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire" and that failed
because of a number of pulsaudio-module packages causing conflicts,
which I removed each time the command failed, until it got to a
conflict on pulseaudio-module-bluetooth which cannot be removed
because it wants to remove gnome-shell. Pipewire also has an
equivalent module that wants to remove gnome-shell if it is
uninstalled, so it looks like both packages have been deliberately
designed to not be able to be removed because of gnome-shell.
A remove of gnome-shell has been banned from being allowed to happen.

I have not tried it in this context, and don't know if it carries
risks, but maybe
sudo rpm -e --nodeps pulseaudio
followed by
sudo dnf install pipewire
would avoid that problem?
I tried that to remove pulseaudio and after reboot both Gnome and KDE
refused to start.
I did a reinstall of F36 from a live cd and that process installed both
pulseaudio and pipewire and set up the sound interface to use
pulseaudio, but youtube videos played without issue.
Given both pulseaudio and pipewire were installed I tried dnf swap
pulseaudio pipewire and that failed on the grounds that pulseaudio
couldn't be removed because it would remove gnome-shell.
I then upgraded to F37, but that stuffed my system up (every time I
tried to anything on the desktop the entire desktop would flash), so I
had to redo the F36 and F37 installs, fortunately after the second set
of installs everything was fine and the videos still continued to play
with audio.

Steve
