HDMI interface cuts out the audio (Pipewire) on a fresh Arch install

Hello, I've installed arch linux recently in a pc with an old Nvidia GTX650. I've already installed it's drivers and now having the proprietary ones. However the HDMI Audio isn't working. If I use headphones, the audio it's chopped sometimes (a blink of cut with no patterns apparently).

I typed this:

pw-top

And I realized that every cut in the audio it's caused by "alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo" I think this is the responsible one of the sound via HDMI. So I decided to unplug my headphones, and oh surprise! there is no audio from my monitor, but every cut when this "alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo" enters, is a blink of sound by the monitor. (the oposite from the headphones)

I've checked some guides here and youtube about similar problems, but this is getting to me, and I'm pretty new at linux (this is my first adventure with Arch). I need your help guys!

Here some info:

pactl info | grep "Server Name"
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.2.7)

I'm using a BSPWM environment (i don't know if it matters)
Kernel Zen

I have installed this: pipewire-audio, pipewire-pulse, pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack wireplumber rtkit

Please let me know which logs do you need. Thanks!
