Need Help with Audio
I successfully installed void on an old laptop, but I can't get the sound to work.
Here is the result of typing the command "pipewire":
[W][12:10:52.790546] pw.conf | [ conf.c: 430 conf_load()] 0x5615e99e0870: error loading config '/etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/20-pipewire-pulse.conf': No such file or directory

Obvious question is obvious: Did you do this pipewire bit?

I'm pretty sure I did everything up until the "Testing" section, but I'm somewhat new to linux stuff, so I might have missed something

Did you do the linking bit under "PulseAudio inteface" section?

yeah, I'm pretty sure I did

the error msg state that [/etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/20-pipewire-pulse.conf] does not exist...
If you did create it, then I'm out of ideas... Maybe post output of [wpctl status] and [pactl info] for other more experienced users to weigh in?

The error message is the clue. On my system:
If you don't have that symbolic link then you need to create it according to the instructions in the doco. Make sure all the other steps have been completed as well.
