Hi guys, I have a broken audio after installing latest updates to my system. I tried installing/re-installing both pulse audio and pipewire but the problem remains the same.
The strange thing is that when i restart the service or restart the system the audio is available for a few minutes (at lest 1 minute) then it dis-appears. I can see the volume controls and my devices detected.
Here are some details about the system and configs:
