After updating to 1:0.3.24-1 the sinks are no longer detected and downgrading pipewire and pipewire-pulse to 1:0.3.23-1 fixes the issue

I can't confirm this. It works for me.

same problem for me.
after installing pipewire-pulse 1:0.3.24-1, audio no more works.
pavucontrol doesn't detect anything (same for alsamixer).
i'm on sway with linux-zen, waybar panel doesn't show audio plugin

I have the same issue.
It seems that pipewire-media-session.service fails to start and it may be related.

Deleting media-session's config doesn't do anything but downgrading as said in the details works.

In case this is useful, here's my uname:

Did you merge all config files in /etc/pipewire? Check: pacman -Qii pipewire pipewire-media-session

Ideally all config files should be UNMODIFIED.

Mmh, I checked and it works after deleting some old config files in media-session.d and reinstalling the last version of all the pipewire packages.
I had no recollection of modifying them tho.

MODIFIED /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/media-session.conf
MODIFIED /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/alsa-monitor.conf

Same issue @Lamb . I don't think I ever modified the config files but after using the default configs it works fine now. pacman -Qii pipewire-media-session showed media-session.conf and alsa-monitor.conf was modified.
