Unable to get MacBook Pro to sleep after waking up from sleep

I have a M3 MacBook Pro. Since updating to macos sonoma, i been having this issue. Updates that came after didnt solve problem.

If the screen was already in sleep mode, then it turns on and unable to go to sleep again, unless i restarted the laptop, but after some time again, the problem occurs again, and would eventually have to restart it again to temporarily fix problem.

Also it the screen is on or not, the volume all of sudden mutes, and it takes a while to unmute, but again restarting the laptop also temporarily fixes the problem, but it eventually occurs again.

Anyone else having this issue? And solutions, if you found any?
