Audio randomly stops working

My sound system is working normal on boot. However, when I watch videos on YouTube, the audio randomly stutters, causing the video to freeze briefly while it waits for the audio stream to catch up. Everytime it does that, there is a chance that the video freezes indefinately and I cannot open any other videos.

When I check

journalctl -b

I find this error:

The only way I know to temporarily fix this is to restart my machine (sometimes I had to hard restart).

Can anyone help me to fix this issue? I have been searching for the solution for quite a long time but nothing worked for me. I'm using pipewire with pipewire-pulse and pipewire-alsa, installed them by following the archwiki. Thanks in advance.

Re: Audio randomly stops working

Same thing happens to me. Doesn't know what causes this and how to fix it...
