[SOLVED] Sound not working until switching profiles back and forth.

I have a weird issue with my Arch Linux install.
When the computer hasn't been playing audio for a while (sometimes a couple seconds are enough), it refuses to do so until I open up my audio panel and switch the audio profile to something else, and then back to the one I want to use. When constantly playing sound (like youtube autoplay or leaving a music player running) the problem never appears.
For example, I have to switch from "Analog Stereo Duplex" to "Analog Stereo Output" and then back to "Analog Stereo Duplex".
When starting at "Analog Stereo Output", just switching to "Analog Stereo Duplex" also fixes the problem. But neither "Output" nor "Duplex" work right out of the gate, both require some from of switching.
Before doing this switch, sound refuses to play, and most applications that try just hang at 0 seconds until I switch. For example, Youtube refuses to show the video at all (just a loading spinner).


Hardware is ASRock DeskMini X300 and it's fully up to date. (6.1.8-arch1-1)

I also have a display with speakers connected to the machine, but it doesn't play any sound in the meantime either, and permanently setting it's profile to "Off" also made no difference.

Here's some terminal output that might be of use:

Neither "alsactl kill rescan" nor  "mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/pulseold && killall pulseaudio" solve the problem.
Anything else I can try, or any other interesting logs I could look at to narrow down the issue?
Or alternatively, any commands I can run during the "broken" vs the "fixed" state to figure out the difference?

Here is a screen recording of the issue in action:

Re: [SOLVED] Sound not working until switching profiles back and forth.

You are mixing wireplumber and pulseaudio which is an unsupported/expected to be troublesome configuration. Either switch to pipewire-media-session and keep pulseaudio or switch to pipewire properly by installing pipewire-pulse instead of pulseaudio.

This is like the third thread in a short timespan with this exact issue, which tool/instruction did you use to install this system? Can you share a pacman.log so we can check by which logistics this situation happened?

Re: [SOLVED] Sound not working until switching profiles back and forth.

Thank you for the reply, I removed pipewire-alsa and wireplumber (which was required by pipewire-alsa) and that has indeed fixed my problem. pipewire-alsa didn't seem to be required by anything else I currently have installed, so I'm not 100% sure how that came to be. I surely didn't manually install it.

Here is the pacman.log, maybe you can tell me how this came to be.
https://hastebin.com/ecazinoraw.yaml
If I had to guess, it came along with this: "yay -S sof-firmware alsa-ucm-conf" which was when I was stuggling with an ID-10T error after trying to use the microphone jack as an output.
I used anarchy-linux (formerly arch-anywhere) to install my system, but I don't think it's at fault here, and has always worked for all other machines I have arch running on. (Just checked my notebook, no wireplumber to be found)

In any case, I'm very thankful for the spot-on diagnosis.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound not working until switching profiles back and forth.

sof-firmware nor alsa-ucm-conf lead to any audio server being installed. Checking the current iteration of the anarchy script shows that it blindly installs just pipewire which will blindly default to wireplumber as the media-session provider. If you installed your notebook earlier it might have simply predated that constellation
