I get the following error when trying to install this:

* Getting build dependencies for wheel...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pyproject_hooks/_impl.py", line 402, in _call_hook
    raise BackendUnavailable(
    ...<4 lines>...
    )
pyproject_hooks._impl.BackendUnavailable: Cannot import 'setuptools.build_meta'

What am I missing?

There's a pending PR that fixes the stray \ before # issue, which can be found at here: https://github.com/theRealCarneiro/pulsemeeter/pull/106/files

You can make the edit to pmctl script yourself (should be at /usr/bin/pmctl), and this has worked for me

I had the same problem. After Manjaro was updated there were some problems with pulseaudio and pipewire. i removed all of them, cleaned and reinstalled manjaro-pipewire. after this it worked again.
