How to uninstall pipewire and go back to pulseaudio

I am using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS version (Jammy Jellyfish). I was facing a slight glitch while using my bluetooth headset mic. So, I tried to switch to pipewire to check if it solves my problem. But after switching I see my inbuilt speakers also doesnot work. I need to go back to default configuration of Ubuntu 22.04. The exact steps that I followed to go the pipewire were this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream sudo apt update sudo apt install pipewire sudo apt install libspa-0.2-bluetooth sudo apt install pipewire-audio-client-libraries systemctl --user daemon-reload systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket systemctl --user --now enable pipewire pipewire-pulse systemctl --user mask pulseaudio systemctl --user --now enable pipewire-media-session.service 

Now every time I start the computer I need to run these commands to get things working again:

systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio systemctl --user --now enable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket 

I do not want to do this again and again how can I go roll back all these changes

Here's what i did: Uninstalled pipewire

sudo apt remove pipewire 

Reenabled pulseaudio

systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio systemctl --user --now enable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket 

If you get sent to CLI-login instead of the usual GUI login, do

sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
