Hello,
I'm experiencing an issue with sound on my Arch Linux system using PipeWire. No sound cards are being detected, and I'm unable to get any audio output through my Dell monitor's audio output or my headphones. Below are the details of my system and the steps I've taken so far:
Audio Devices: (output from lspci -v | grep -i audio)
```bash
0b:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 21/23 HDMI/DP Audio Controller
Subsystem: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 21/23 HDMI/DP Audio Controller
0d:00.4 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller
```
ALSA Devices: (output from aplay -l)
```bash
aplay: device_list:279: no soundcards found...
```
PipeWire Status: (output from systemctl --user status pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber)
```bash

Steps Taken So Far
Installed PipeWire: I followed the Arch Wiki guide to install and configure PipeWire, including pipewire-pulse and wireplumber.
Checked Services: Ensured that pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber services are running.
Verified Audio Output: Checked pavucontrol and alsamixer for any muted or misconfigured audio channels.
