I'm on mobile so I don't have a detailed answer at this time but I had the exact same distorted audio issue. I even thought it may be a lemon 2i2 and got a FR Clarette to replace it.
I could not find a fix with Pipewire but fixed it by uninstalling it for Pulseaudio. Sounds like a step backwards but it now works perfectly
