I run this script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# kill any existing pipewire instance to restore sound
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/wireplumber 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire 1>/dev/null 2>&1
exec /usr/bin/pipewire &
# wait for pipewire to start before attempting to start related daemons
while [ "$(pgrep -f /usr/bin/pipewire)" = "" ] ; do
sleep 1
done
exec /usr/bin/wireplumber &
# wait for wireplumber to start before attempting to start pipewire-pulse
while [ "$(pgrep -f /usr/bin/wireplumber)" = "" ] ; do
sleep 1
done
exec /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse &

Same issue. I had switched from pulseaudio to pipewire. At the moment I have to run a script to start the service that exposes audio resources.
If it's your case too, I can provide the script later.

No matter what, I was unable to configure correctly the open nvidia drivers (v550). I almost followed this https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers which is pretty old.
The only way I was able to use nvidia drivers was availing to the closed version. But now I'm struggling to make Wayland run.
Any clue?
Thanks in advance
