You might be blocked updating when using pacman due to some libcanberra packages. Simply remove those packages:

sudo pacman -Rdd lib32-libcanberra-pulse lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer libcanberra-pulse libcanberra-gstreamer

We recommend to use pamac anyway, which does this automatically:

pamac update

Hi,

There was a discussion about this is the update thread. Using pamac update -a to update will sort out the dependency issues.
