This is a desktop PC, processor: amd 5600g, motherboard: asrock b450m ac.
Everything works fine expect sound, on pavucontrol only shows the Dummy Output.
These are some of commands' output.

Thank you V1del for the help, executing:

systemctl --user --now enable wireplumber

fixed the problem.
On my old install I think that I used PipeWire Media Session, and know switching to wireplumber, I missed the step to enable it.
