Pipewire crashes very frequently

Ever since I installed Arch Linux around 2 months ago, I have experienced a very frustrating audio issue where upon opening an application that takes audio input from my microphone (usually vesktop, but this happens with games too), there is a chance that pipewire will just crash and I am unable to hear any audio or input any audio with my microphone until I restart my computer, afterwards there is still the same chance that upon opening the application pipewire will crash. When pipewire crashes,  I try to execute

systemctl --user status pipewire

, but it always says that it is still running. KDE's Crashed Processes Viewer after pipewire crashes gives me this log:

Here is some system information:

Kernel: Linux 6.10.10-arch1-1
DE: KDE Plasma 6.1.5

I would appreciate if someone helped me. I am able to provide any more logs or information if needed. Thanks!
