Hello everyone.
From today, all I can hear is a faint white noise in my headset or speakers, which are connected to the analogue output on my motherboard.
You can find my specs and packages versions below.
I don't have any specific configuration for pipewire/wireplumber. The only thing that's changed since I last had the audio working is that I've upgraded my system packages.
However, if I switch on my GPU's audio controller, the sound is being played on my monitor, and everything is fine, although the sound is quiet low.
I tried running speaker-test -Dhw:0 -c2, or to play a sound with mpv, or Freetube, but I couldn't get any sound.
I also tried downgrading all the packages related to my audio stack and the kernel version, but it didn't work.
I'm not really comfortable with the pipewire/wireplumber/alsa configuration, so please forgive me if I miss something obvious.
Thank you very much for your help.

Issue solved.
All I had to do is running the following command, and the sound came back while testing with speaker-test:
sudo alsactl init 0Sorry for bothering.
