loud popping sound and initial stutter when playing all media

Every time I boot my computer, I will hear several loud popping sounds (as if my speakers and headphones are being turned on/off or swapped) and all audio will stutter initially for a few seconds and also have the loud popping sound while playing audio.

pipewire-0.3.24-4.fc34.i686 pipewire-0.3.24-4.fc34.x86_64 kernel-5.11.10-300.fc34.x86_64

How reproducible: Always!

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Fedora 34 (beta) and update to the latest pipewire build.
2. Turn on your speakers and reboot your system.
3. Play audio, stop and wait 10s and start playing again.

Expected results: flawless audio playback without the popping sound on boot and/or when playing and pausing media.
