Applications muted in CachyOS (KDE x11) can't be unmuted after switching to Bazzite (KDE Wayland)

I had moved from CachyOS (KDE x11) to Bazzite (KDE Wayland) and kept my home partition, but now i have a problem where certain applications can't be unmuted because there is no speaker icon nor a volume slider on the applications in "Icons-and-Text Task Manager"

i'd really rather not have to lose ALL of my settings and configs, so...
My Questions:
is there a way to get the icons/volume slider to show on the task manager in wayland?
failing that, is there a way to reset KDE's cached volume/muted applications?
or worst case scenario, is it possible to switch Bazzite to x11?
