Yes, I rebooted after reinstalling.
I tried to fix my microphone, because it’s sound quality were terrible.
I used to swap pipewire with pulseaudio to check, if my sound quality will be any better.
$ sudo dnf swap --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio pulseaudio
But then i realized that I just need to configure my output volume to normal (I was so dumb that I couldn’t think to change the volume) and swapped pulseaudio to pipewire.
$ sudo dnf swap --allowerasing pulseaudio pipewire-pulseaudio
