Haven’t touched anything, no updates, no nothing. But no more sound from my speakers. When I boot into a live environment of EOS the speakers work fine. I have no clue what is wrong. Re-installing the distro is currently not an option.

Pastebin of the full journalctl output
To me everything looks fine. Bluetooth headphones work. Speakers are working in live environment. I don’t understand the inner workings of the audio services etc. I just find it strange that Pipewire PulseAudio is closing after it started.
I also tried switching away from pipewire to pulseaudio, but that does nothing. I tried deleting configurations, restarting daemons etc. Audio has always been an issue for my laptop since I started using Linux. I find it strange that all of the sudden it stops working.
Anyone that can help me troubleshoot it a bit further?
