Description Miroslav Lakota 2022-09-14 10:37:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
After a recent update to F36 (~3 days ago) the audio on my laptop started breaking if I opened sound settings before playing any sounds. The error disappeared after upgrade to F37 but reappeared once all packages were upgraded to the lasted version.

I attempted to clean install F37 and ended up with the same result - after install everything was fine, after full upgrade the error started appearing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I tested the error and confirmed it with several kernels (all the kernels tested):
5.19.8
5.19.7
5.19.2

pipewire version:
Compiled with libpipewire 0.3.57
Linked with libpipewire 0.3.57

How reproducible:
It does not work with every device. My laptop with a Skylake CPU running F37 does not suffer from this issue. Maybe it is purely Alder Lake related?

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Reboot
2.Login
3.Go straight to Sound settings and play a test sound from one of the speakers

Actual results:
There is no sound

Expected results:
Sound should be playing

Additional info:
Opening of the Sound settings can break the Audio also after other sounds have stopped playing.

Laptop: Inspiron 16 Plus 7620 
DE: GNOME 43.rc 
CPU: 12th Gen Intel i7-12700H
