I switched to kernel 6.1.53-1 and the same thing happens. I installed kernel 6.5.3.-1 and Plasma won’t start I just get a black screen - I can alt F2 or F3 to get a terminal so it is the GUi that is not starting - (that is a problem for a different day, I hope)
I switched form the headphone output on the front of the PC to the lineout on the back and the same thing occurs I can get sound from lineout if I switch off of “Analog Stereo Output” and then back.
Here is the output from pacmd dump | grep -v modules
