No sound after pause or resume videos on browser

Hey guys.So In the past few years I always used pulseaudio as the default one. But today I found that when I opened up a browser and started playing a video , the sound disappeared.And this problem could not be activated all the time I paused or resumed a video -- I don't know why.
And I open the pavucontrol,finding that all the things is the same : the sound bar went up and down ; my card was loaded correctly ; in short, nothing was wrong,all the things seemed as if there was sound.and I looked through the wiki ,and found that this problem can be   temporarily fixed by

pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio --start

but just for one time.
and I started thinking whether it was related to pulseaudio . So I switched to pipewire and deleted all the pulseaudio stuff.But , the problem remained. This time, I found that if I ran

pipewire-media-session

It could also be fixed temporarily for one time.
and, If I went to trigger this problem, the output would be like:

So how could I fix this problem once and for all? Thanks in advance.

Re: No sound after pause or resume videos on browser

There's a kernel regression affecting LTS 5.15.81+ and 6.0.11, if you are on either of these make sure you are up to date or appropriately downgraded, upstream is aware should be fixed in the next few stable releases
