After upgrading Kodi to 20.0, audio no longer works

Hi, I'm running Kodi on an intel NUC.

I had audio working fine for kodi several releases, but after updating kodi to 20.0 audio is not working and video playback is slow. Under settings audio is set to 'Default, Default Output Device (PIPEWIRE)' and I can not change it to anything else. I'm running kodi-x11 as standalone and I see not issues reported by 'systemctl status -l kodi-x11 and there is nothing report in the kodi.log file.

Audio still works for other apps and downgrading kodi back to 19.5 allows me to select the right audio device and playback is fine.

Wondering if others are hitting this issue and if so is there a fix? Thanks in advance.
