HDMI sound output regression after F43 upgrade

Hello,

I am using a min PC (NUC) with intel chips. Since the migration from F42 to F43 HDMI sound output is no longer functioning as expected after a pc suspend/unsuspend. I would greatly appreciate guidance to fix this issue.

Problem: The HDMI sound output disappears after PC suspend/unsuspend, leaving only dummy output with no sound.
The command: aplay -l is no longer listing the HDMI screen in sound outputs after waking up the PC.
From what I’m seeing the sound output is lost already at the gnome login screen but it works fine for initial power up or reboot, so something goes wrong in the unsuspend sequence.

I tried several work arounds from the internet and multiple AI chats. But so far the only ones that seem to work is to hot-unplug / replug the HDMI cable or power cycle the display.

Curious if anyone encountered this issue and managed to fix it permanently. Thank you!

does systemctl --user restart pipewire.socket restore audio after suspend? Can you reproduce this every time after a suspend/wake cycle?
