While the latest 5.11 update enabled Wayland screen sharing (yay!), I sadly now have a new issue that wasn't present in previous versions.

Even when my USB DAC/amp is selected manually in Zoom (or just set as the default device), the audio stream only comes out of my laptop's speakers. Before, it would just play the sound through my amp as expected.

Could this be a Pipewire problem, or possible something else?

OS: Fedora Workstation 36 Linux
Zoom version: 5.11 (both Flatpak and also latest RPM package versions)
