Support for Pipewire in NoMachine was added in v8. So you have two choices:

1) update to version 8. If you update you should also execute the command:
sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxnode –audiosetup

Otherwise uninstall v7 completely and install v8.

2)  if you don’t want to update, you could also try the workaround which we provided for Ubuntu.
