Bug Description

Right click on desktop "display settings" does nothing, using gnome-control-center display or gnome-control-center throws the following error:

16:20:10.6842 GStreamer-Play[41314]: ERROR: GtkGstPlay: 'playbin' element not found, please check your setup
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

I am using 23.04 but it did work at the beginning. I assume it might have broken when I hastily reversed a pipewire->pule audio mod (had to disable pipewire in 22.10 since RDP would give no sound) since my microphone didn't work at first. Now everything works but the gnome control center (and my webcam which I newly installed but not sure it's connected).

I would expect the command center to just open.

nothing happens (right click on desktop and "display settings") or using gnome-control-center display throws the above mentioned error message.
