No sound on integrated sound card using Pipewire. ALSA works

I recently bought a new motherboard but now I don't have sound on any of the connectors on my motherboard. The front connectors don't work either. But when I plug the speakers into my monitor sound works. Bluetooth audio works as well.
I have tried maxing out all the sliders in alsamixer but that did not work. Motherboard is Gigabyte B550 Aorus V2. Do any of you know how to fix this?
Edit:
I'm using Pipewire. Sound is enabled in BIOS.
Edit2:
Playing audio works through ALSA. Now I just need it to work in Pipewire

Re: No sound on integrated sound card using Pipewire. ALSA works

How are you playing back in ALSA that it works there?

In any case to make any useful statements during attempted playback post

aplay -l
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs

Re: No sound on integrated sound card using Pipewire. ALSA works

Everything except the sound is working. I can select the sound card and the different ports in pavucontrol. It even shows which ones are plugged/unplugged.
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  fried      1182 F.... wireplumber

Not posting pactl commands since these are very long. If you want I can put them in a pastebin.
For playback I just chose a random Youtube video in Firefox. Bluetooth audio works. I played audio directly to alsa using mpv --audio-device=alsa/sysdefault:CARD=Generic_1 test.mp3 and that worked too.

Re: No sound on integrated sound card using Pipewire. ALSA works

Post these outputs they are the most crucial piece of information here. Don't worry about the length, if you wrap it in code tags scrollbars will be added.

Throw in

amixer -c2

while you're at it.

Random guess based on the existing info, from what I'm seeing here pipewire is using the digital port and you probably want to switch your profile to analog.
