For the thumbnails not showing make sure you have kpipewire installed.

The settings are not shown because they are not relevant on Wayland

I have kpipewire installed.
Comment 6 gigastarcraft2 2022-12-20 01:57:45 UTC 
Ok, it turned out that I had to properly install pipewire & all packages but pulseaudio was running instead.
sudo pacman -S pipewire wireplumber pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack
It automatically remove conflicting packages.

Using command
:~$ pactl info
make sure you have
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.63)
and not
Server Name: pulseaudio

And you need to start it manually or add it to autostart scripts. I found that (in my case) script had to be in KDE's autostart folder.
