IIRC, pavucontrol is for PulseAudio, whille OP specified they were using pipewire, I think.
I'd probably try making the USB card the 0th ALSA card, blacklisting the kernel modules for all other sound hardware temporarily, and see if that solves the problem. HDMI audio can be weird and refuse to play nice with other audio hardware (had that problem with a laptop recently).
