Killing/restarting pulseaudio (pulseaudio -k) after a suspend-to-RAM is required and sufficient to get my USB webcam microphone working again in ~90% of my suspend cycles. That's a few times per day. I didn't bother reporting that because I've seen too many pulseaudio bug reports being dismissed along the lines of "pulseaudio is never buggy, it's the fault of your driver/application/whatever".

PipeWire seems to care about not breaking existing setups and the article implies that the community is nice. I'm happy about that and look forward to testing it.

Not to defend PA, but it really smells like USB microphone driver problem. It seem not to handle suspend/resume cycle (while device is opened?).
If you do not report bugs, they won't be fixed. And you will have the same problem with pipewire.
