No sound in Desktop Mode/No sound when switching to Game Mode

On Steam Deck @
bazzite-deck-gnome
bazzite-deck-gnome
v. 2.2.0
On a fresh boot into Game Mode, audio works fine. When switching to Desktop Mode, there is no sound. Additionally, there's no sound when switching back to Game Mode. Audio is restored on reboot.

On desktop mode, I checked the audio output: max volume, not muted. Named "Filter Chain Sink." Ran the built-in audio test, and clicking each L/R channel shows the volume meter fluttering, but no sound is actually produced. There must be some disconnect between Gnome and the speakers, but I have no idea where to even start.
Solution
Hopefully have it fixed soon(ish)
