Public bug reported:
Anytime I either
* make any bell noise in my gnome terminal, or
* mute/unmute/change volume in gnome, or
* start, pause or continue a video on firefox
I get
1) the quiet but audible pop that you hear when audio is unmuted
2) **a ~5 second (!) delay**
3) the sound playing
When stopping the sound, the same happens in reverse order, with a
shorter delay.
I suspect that the audio system (pipewire) is opening and closing an
interface, and has perhaps some driver issues? How can I debug this
annoying delay?
journalctl shows during such an event:

I see pipewire-pulse running.
This is on a Dell XPS 15, and the problem occurs both with and without
using headphones.
I posted this issue at https://superuser.com/questions/1844051/delayed-
audio-start-stop-after-ubuntu-24-04-upgrade-slow-pipewire?noredirect=1
and 2 other users commented that they also experience this with their
Dell XPS 15 laptop, but not external speakers.
