Audio and performance issues on dual-booted thinkpad

Hi there,

Making a post to see if anyone has any ideas about the problems i'm currently having. I have installed Arch via EndeavourOS as a secondary OS on my work laptop (other OS is Win 11). The laptop in question is a thinkpad p15 v3, which has an i7 12700H, and the integrated Intel Alder Lake-P gpu. I'm using Gnome on wayland as my DE at the moment.

The only game I have been playing so far is Hollow Knight through proton (the native version had very bad input lag), and I have a couple of issues with it:

• Performance, on battery power, is pretty bad, around 30-40 fps with low settings. When on AC, the laptop starts to get really hot (70 C) and the exhaust feels like a hair dryer, but performance increases only by 10 fps or so. I'm pretty sure I installed necessary drivers following the arch wiki page.
• Audio, this is the major problem. Endeavour came with pulseaudio installed, which I removed and replaced with pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber. When playing Hollow Knight the sound will often turn into crunchy 8-bit sounding stuff, which I thought was a buffer underrun, and I followed the fixes listed on arch wiki, but to no avail.

Now the audio has seemingly completely stopped working, in pavucontrol I have 5 output devices, but switching through all of them whilst playing audio from my browser still results in no sound through headphones. In the configuration, there is "Alder Lake-PCH-P High definition audio controller" and it remains "Off". When I switch it to "On", it switches back immediately. The pipewire services are running however.

If anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated
