No audio over HDMI using Pipewire

Hello!
I’ve been trying to use my display speakers to no avail. They work fine in Ubuntu but never did in Manjaro. I’m running pipewire in this system, and the HDMI profile is selected properly in the audio devices. I know pipewire works because I use it occasionally with my bluetooth headphones.

Here’s the result of inxi -Fazy
