I’m saving your comment for when I’ll reinstall the operating system in a few days. Thanks.
Any advice on the other issue that mutes all notification sounds? Last time I checked there were plenty of posts on how to disable power savings on pulse but not for pipewire.
It always takes about one second to start any sound after staying silent for a little while. I managed to figure out it was a power savings mode putting the service to sleep and not waking up fast enough, for pulse it seems to be as easy as to change a true for a false to a power savings option inside a config file, I guess that in pipewire is the same but I couldn’t find the option, that line probably needs to be added somewhere and I’m not sure where and what to write exactly.
The part about the muted notifications was because all the sounds shorter than one second end before the thing wakes up.

That would depend on the notification application that you’re using.
Give me any details that you can think of. Software version, things you’ve tried, etc. I’ll look into it after work
Do sounds work sometimes and then stop or is it that they’re playing but the output is set to muted by default?
Thank you!

Looks like this is a common enough issue:

When in doubt, look into the Arch and Gentoo wikis they have good information that’s usually applicable to you even if you’re not using them (mostly).
