I’m on a fresh install of Fedora 38 Workstation on a Lenovo Yoga Slim Pro 7 14ARP8. Downloaded all the updates and everything is working fine except for the audio.
Volume is always at max or muted, doesn’t matter where I position the slider.
I’ve tried this fix gnome - My volume is either max volume or muted, no middle ground - Ask Ubuntu but it results in a misaligned volume slider between pipewire and the audio card (checked this through alsamixer)

My exact same problem was posted here Fedora 36 PipeWire Master Does Not Control Sound Card PCM Volume Linearly - #4 by ilikelinux, the only difference being that mine affects both the speakers and headphones.
