Pipewire doesn't detect new devices on startup (headphones unplugged)

Hey everyone!

I couldn't express myself much in the subject because it exceeded the character limit, so I'll explain my problem in more detail.
Normally when I start my PC I do it without any type of audio device connected and I need it to be like this for comfort and workspace reassons, the problem is that if I do this, when I connect something, whether headphones or speakers, pipewire does not detect it, and I have to restart the service through this command

systemctl --user restart pipewire.service

In my attempt to fix this, I have tried steps 5.1.2 and 5.1.13 from the Pipewire Troubleshooting section on the arch wiki. however, neither of them solved the problem.

My system is completely up-to-date so I am running the latest version of pipewire available in the repositories
I'll provide any additional information if necessary, and if you are going to reply with "Just start your PC with your headphones connected" please get lost
