Hello!
I'm having some sound playback issues when playing videos in a browser (youtube, twitch - I've tried both Firefox and Brave and they both behaved the exact same way).
When I load up any video, the video more or less freezes if the sound is on, and the audio plays in a loop, repeating every 9 seconds or so.
After my installation, I initially installed pulse, then switched to pipewire, so I suspect this might be part of the issue.
The reason I switched from pipewire to pulse was because I was having a similar issue on pulse, where I had to switch configurations in order to get sound to play.
The issue happens both over some USB speakers and over HDMI when connected to a TV.
I know this thread sounds a lot like this one but it doesn't seem to be the same issue.
I will put here the output of some commands that I've seen requested in other similar threads or on the internet during my searches. I ran all of these after a fresh boot (so that the issue would happen).

Feb 13 22:32:52 remote 0 node 49 changedThe pw-cli output above happens every 9 seconds, but disappears after the configuration switch.
What I do in order to "fix" this is open up pavucontrol, I go to the "Configuration" tab, and I switch the profile from "Analog Stereo" to "Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output" and back (or in the case of HDMI from "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output" to "Digital Stereo (HDMI 2) Output" and back) and then the issue is gone until the next boot.
While my speakers are set to "Digital Stereo", there is no sound.
Update:
Might be relevant, this does not seem to be an issue using bluetooth earbuds.
