Please read this:

At a minimum the section Linux has multiple kernels, then install 2 LTS kernels and see if the problem goes away automagically. :grin:

If that doesn’t help, try stopping pipewire and running on Pulseaudio only:

systemctl --user disable --now pipewire.socket && systemctl --user disable --now pipewire.service

If that helped and you don’t want to run this command every time you reboot, also execute a:

systemctl --user mask pipewire.socket

to disable it permanently.

This is unrelated to your current issue but:

Please read this
