[SOLVED] No speaker audio since pipewire updated

I hadn't updated in a couple of weeks, and like others, I discovered my audio wasn't working after the PipeWire update. The only audio I can get is from a USB headset. Focused on getting the laptop speakers to work, I tried downgrading PipeWire (pipewire, pipewire-audio, pipewire-jack, pipewire-pulse, gst-plugin-pipewire, libpipewire, pipewire-alsa) to version 1.2.7 and also tried installing pipewire-pulse as mentioned in the following topic. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=304079
