It seems your system is in some weird partial upgrade state? Can you make sure you're up-to-date (apt get update && apt get upgrade)
I'd also go ahead and remove your wireplumber state, since maybe it's causing some problems on your upgrade path, ~/.local/state/wireplumber Reboot. Let us know if any of that helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debcrafters packages, which is subscribed to pipewire in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2111972 Title: Pipewire uses 100% of a CPU core.

Audio does not work in system. This issue is reproduceable sometimes. I don't have information on how to give first-aid in this case. I'll just kill the process and try to restart pulseaudio.
