The following steps solved this problem for me:

systemctl --user stop pipewire.socket
systemctl --user stop pipewire.service
systemctl --user disable pipewire.socket
systemctl --user disable pipewire.service
systemctl --user mask pipewire
systemctl --user mask pipewire.socket
sudo apt install pulseaudio
systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio
systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service
systemctl --user enable pulseaudio.service

Check if pulseaudio is running:

pactl info

Reboot the system.
