Switch to pipewire no hardware audio

Hey,
today I switched from pulse to pipewire by following the wiki. The server started and is running but the hardware sound and micro is not recognized. When I connect  Bluetooth devices I get  the full functionality. I also added the -e alsa-pcm as stated in the wiki.
I run a DELL XPS 9360 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_13_(9360)
Thanks in advance

Re: Switch to pipewire no hardware audio

I'm also having issues with no hardware audio since upgrading to pipewire only. 4 out of 5 boots I got no audio in gnome shell.

What can I check?
