Pipewire/Wireplumber nodes suspend and wont wake up after system sleep

Greetings. I'm having a particular problem with audio after a system update, as my audio seemingly breaks after a long enough period of silence, but I managed to fix the issue by following https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … g_playback, but now the same issue still happens, but only when my system sleeps, where after waking the system, the nodes are seemingly suspended.

Both the Pipewire and Wireplumber services are active.
as doing

systemctl --user status

on both of them yield:

● pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sun 2026-02-15 21:22:29 +07; 7min ago
 Invocation: d0239a179dfb48c4a0d860d100bf1868
TriggeredBy: ● pipewire.socket
   Main PID: 4240 (pipewire)
      Tasks: 3 (limit: 9181)

             └─4240 /usr/bin/pipewire

and

● wireplumber.service - Multimedia Service Session Manager

Doing some extra testing show that bluetooth earbuds work fine, I would also test wired headphones but lackthem, this seems to possibly be an issue with my laptop speakers.
