Audio working but just sometimes on Lenovo Legion pro 7i

So a month ago i installed arch and took it really slowly, just 2 weeks ago i installed hyprland and everything was nice until suddenly i had no audio, at first i thought it was a problem with pipewire but every program showed it recognized audio had to be played but the computer just didn't play it, i made a reddit post and i couldn't solve it so i thought it meant i had to go back to just using Windows as not having audio would be a deal breaker for me. Yesterday i installed arch again (Tried using other distros to see if it would solve it, it didn't work) and noticed that closing and opening the lid would solve the problem (at least for a good while). So i want to do one of 2 things, either simulate the process of closing and opening the lid or finding out what happens under the hood so that i solve it without suspending the machine

I have tried using both pipewire and pulseaudio, the problem happens with both
I have installed sof-firmware
Tried changing the sinks used for the audio (Not sure if i did this right or not, but i think i did)
And tried a script from https://github.com/cszach/linux-on-leno … wer-saving  and turned it into a systemd unit. I probably did something wrong tho cause i run

systemctl --failed

and it failed

tas2781-fix.service loaded failed failed Run the tas2781-fix script after the relevant sysfs paths become available

Legend: LOAD   → Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
        ACTIVE → The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
        SUB    → The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

1 loaded units listed.

I'm sorry i don't know how to format the result of

systemctl --failed

nor what would be useful to help like what logs for example. So, please ask me whatever you need. I really want to use linux as a daily driver, but i can't if i don't solve this. Also, sorry if i posted this in an incorrect section, it seems like a hardware issue i think.

edit: Idk if it's the case but it seems like having pavucontrol open makes it so that the audio doesn;t mute itself again, i'm not 100% sure of this, but it happens to be the case.
Any tips for making better posts would be appreciated so that i don't make the same mistakes like in this posts.
