I find chat gpt to be useful for deciphering error messages, generally noticing things I missed. It’s also helpful for boilerplate code, essentially a customized form of stack overflow. Beyond that it really has trouble knowing what it’s doing. I can’t imagine trusting it for completing a large project. Helpful for minor optimizations though.
I understood you and had the same issue. I solved it by using an Apple USBC to mini jack audio device instead of onboard. Not ideal. Not sure if it’s still a problem though.
Edit. My mistake I had the problem with Pulse not Pipewire.
