Bug Description
Every now and then, after boot, I get no sounds at all coming from the speakers. Everything seems normal - the control center reports the output as active, and if I play anything with sound I can see the VU meter going back and forth. I've attached a screenshot showing as much.
The internal microphone does not pick up any sounds either when this happens.
If I connect my Bose NC700 bluetooth headset, I get sound out of it just fine, and the mike on it also works.
Sometimes the internal sound will start working after a few times of switching back and forth internal audio / bluetooth headset.
Restarting the systemd pipewire and pipewire-pulse user services doesn't help. Nor does killing & respawning wireplumber.

Extra info: this happened on this same laptop on an old install (upgraded from Ubuntu 19.10 all the way). I reinstalled 22.04 yesterday from scratch with ZFS root and upgraded to 22.10 (the latter installer did not let me create a ZFS root with encryption).
