[Solved] Sound available only after mute/unmute laptop output speakers

I have three sound output devices:
1. laptop speaker
2. HDMI display 1 speaker
3. HDMI display 2 speaker

After every login, in order for the laptop speakers to work, I have to mute and unmute the Output Volume...
Speakers on both displays works as expected, but settings like Output Volume is not remembered, always reset back to 100%.

I just found out that the speaker is muted every time I log in, but the sound volume indicator doesn't reflect this from some reason. It indicates that is not muted. Really weird, messed up.
Also, I just tried Fedora live and it works flawlessly.

It's due to some bug in the version 1.2.x-x. I've downgraded to 1.0.7.x, and it works, but there are other issues occurred, so I had to upgrade it again to latest.
The problem is still persist and I've opened the issue on Pipewire GitLab: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire … ssues/4235
