Hi @Requin, and welcome!

What happens when you try to start the service manually?

sudo systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service

Seems the typical problem with kernel 5.15 and intel audio, there are lots of threads about that…
Just upgrade to 6.1 kernel.

I never heard about that after hours of searching my bad. Upgrade the kernel simply solved the problem… Thanks a lot!
