That's weird.  I've been running rawhide since it was the future f35,
and pulseaudio is a distant memory on my system, and I've had no
problems with updates. Once I did the swap, and set everything the way
I wanted it using pavucontrol, it has been issue free.

Yes, I also had to re-setup all my audio after the initial conversion to pipewire.

 
What exactly is happening?  Maybe you should open a bugzilla so that it
can be fixed. 

I'm not exactly sure what to report without the ability to reproduce. I ran an update, and then rebooted. I opened Chrome and tried to play a youtube video and noticed I didn't have any audio.

I tried using my keyboard's volume control at first but the Gnome volume popup showed a different device "Audio Out" or something like that instead of "Line Out" and it actually couldn't adjust the level at all (this was before I figured out it was the wrong device).  

I first tried reconfiguring in pavucontrol since I'm accustomed to it and the Gnome Audio settings doesn't have enough control to setup my other audio device simultaneously. It worked for a bit and it reset AGAIN. I had to go into the Gnome Audio Settings and set my "default" audio before it would "stick". 


If you have multiple sound devices, it might be that you need to set a
configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d so that alsa will always put the
sound devices in the same position during boot. Since boot is now non
deterministic because it is run in parallel, devices can be found by
alsa in different order.  This works well for me for everything except
the graphics hdmi, since it is discovered so early in the boot process,
and always seems to end up in position 0, regardless of where I assign
it. Here is a link to a sample,
https://gist.github.com/andering/801eb7fe79520036dff4a90340fac7f6
that might or might not work for you, but it at least gives you an idea
of what to use.

I'd rather not have to go to that extent for what should be a somewhat common use case.

I technically have 3 devices but one of them is the HDMI audio for my RX 580 graphics card which I usually configure to "off".

The other two are my motherboards built in audio, and a USB sound card that's built into my ham radio transceiver, which is the one I use pavucontrol to direct the various ham radio applications to use. 
 

Is it possible you have some leftover configuration around that is
causing problems?  This would probably be in your home
directory, and only if you upgrade to new fedora versions.

Maybe, I don't think I've done a "fresh" install since Fedora 14.

Thanks,
Richard
