For me helped:

systemctl --user start pipewire-pulse.service
wait ~30 sec
systemctl --user restart pulseaudio.service

I have created bug-report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pipewire/+bug/1993739

As suggested on this comment on the bug-report created by Vsevolod Gromov, you can add the pipewire-upstream PPA, change to use the jammy distribution and update :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream 
sudo sed -i 's/kinetic/jammy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pipewire-debian-ubuntu-pipewire-upstream-kinetic.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Then reboot.

This repo will have to be removed once the bug will be fixed, so you can subscribe to be notified of changes on the bug ticket.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
