[SOLVED] My audio output becomes too low and unusually sharp.

I haven't used the internal speakers on Linux for a while. When I tried today, I found that the volume was very low and the sound quality was very poor, with a very high pitched noise. It's not that there's a fixed noise when there's no sound, but that there's noise when there's music playing. I'm sure of two things: it used to work and it now works on a dual boot of Windows, so it's not a hardware problem.

I'm using alsa + pipewire, and installed almost every package with these two keywords. I checked dmesg and didn't see any errors regarding sound.

The output of alsa-info.sh is here: https://0x0.st/8WZm.EOI0HzdE

Make sure Windows is completely shutting down. It can be hibernating, which causes issues if you then boot Linux
