Comment # 1 on bug 1178203 from Takashi Iwai

Did you install alsa-plugins-pulse package?  Just to be sure.

Recently we noticed that pipewire got installed along with Firefox update, and
this changes the default ALSA device setup.  If alsa-plugins-pulse is installed
and PULSEAUDIO_ENABLE=yes set in /etc/sysconfig/sound, it should override to PA
as expected, but otherwise it can cause a problem.

And, if it's really a kernel regression, do you get the system working properly
when you boot with the older kernel?  In that case, please upload the
alsa-info.sh outputs on both working and non-working cases.  Run the script
with --no-upload option, and use attachments.
