Pipewire only shows "Dummy Output". No sound

[stdnt]

Device: Thinkpad T430
Profile: Musl-Hardened
Init: OpenRC
Kernel: gentoo-kernel-bin
WM: sway
I have dbus and seatd installed but no elogind

I'm launching sway with `dbus-run-session sway`
In my swag .config I have `exec /usr/bin/gentoo-pipewire-launcher &`
and when I open a terminal in sway `pactl info` shows my server name as PulseAudio (on Pipewire)

echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
/tmp/1000-runtime-dir

echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unix:path=/tmp/dbus-Ihh2h3jav5,guid=7fb71d3ed2fab4303ae7bc80662ae383

And my user is apart of the pipewire group

Im really at my wits end, ive spent hours trying to fix this and I cant even seem to find people with the same issue I have. Please help!
Let me know of any other information I can provide that would be helpful and I will link to pastebin

Edit1:
Heres an image of my TTY after I quit sway: https://i.ibb.co/xJ3H0JR/IMG-8734.jpg
Of note is "Pipewire couldnt connect to context" and "impl->enter_count > 0' failed at ../pipewire-1.0.3/spa/plugins/support/loop.c:362 loop_leave()

Hello stdnt,

Welcome to the forums.

Did you enable USE="sound-server pipewire-alsa" for media-video/pipewire? These two USE-flags are disabled by default, but necessary if pipewire is supposed to handle audio.
