Can't change used port on laptop with wireplumber.

After arch changed from pipewire-media-session to wireplumber I haven't been able to change port's on my laptop from headphones to it's speaker one's.

Command that I run: pactl set-sink-port 0 analog-output-speaker

Expected behaviour: Audio coming from speakers and not headphones.

What happends: Speakers make a crackling sound for less than 0.5 seconds and no audio from speakers or headphones.

Pactl list sinks output:
