I also switched to Pop!OS recently!
I had the same issue. You likely installed Steam from the Pop! Shop by selecting "flathub (flatpak)" which I believe is the default option. You won't be able to access other drives because of the way flatpaks are containerized (or something along those lines). Go back to the Pop! Shop, uninstall Steam, and then reinstall ofter selecting "Pop!_OS (deb)" from the drop-down menu just below the name of the program. This version isn't containerized and can access your other drive. Edit: Another thing! When you reboot your system you might need to remind Steam to have another drive. For whatever reason I need to go back to "add drive" and select the drive before Steam remembers that's where all my games are installed.
I haven't had this exact issue but I did need to play around with PulseAudio/PipeWire to get my microphone to work. I remember uninstalling and reinstalling stuff related to PipeWire and then rebooting the system and my microphone worked.
Do you have your second drive set to mount on boot? I had that issue initially, but setting it to automount fixed it.
I thought that was the case but it automounts at boot. I usually suspend my machine instead of shutting down which prevents the issue.
Hmm, strange. I'm afraid I don't have any other ideas! Just figured I would mention it in case.
I definitely have the flatpak install; last night when I was mucking about I saw the deb package available to install in the Pop Shop. It was late so I didn't bother with it but tonight I'll be removing the flatpak and replacing with deb. Will check back in with results. Appreciate the reply!
