Missing Pulseaudio Analog Stereo Duplex Profile

[oMoM]

Hello Manjaro community!
This is my first topic. I had many issues and I always tried to fix it through enough searching in forum, or googling, or reading docs etc. but this seems a bit too confusing.
After the 2020-08-22 update I’ve had a few hiccups which I managed to fix (like a crashing plasmashell). Now I can’t use both audio input and output since I have no Analog Stereo Duplex profile. It’s gone.

I’ve tried reloading the module responsible for the audio card based on some suggestion. Well that worked but It wouldn’t survive a reboot. It also suggesed a script for automated module-reloading proccess but that’s a dull solution.
Has anyone by chance faced a similar problem?

Seems like this reply is working for now (works even after reboot). I’ll update this if anything new happens.

No sound after upgrade

Pulseaudio configuration may have changed following update but might still retain old configuration settings try clearing pulseaudio configuration in home folder rename user configuration folder to ‘pulse.old’ and restart system mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/pulse.old && reboot when Pulseaudio restarts it will create new configuration files PulseAudio/Troubleshooting - Bad configuration files - ArchWiki EDIT: error in folder name ‘~/config’ changed to ~/.config/’

Update: Sadly, the problem is back. Not only I don’t have a duplex profile, my analog output profile is also gone. Here’s a picture Pasteboard - Uploaded Image as I can’t upload pictures here for some reason.
Update 2: If you use the mic and lineout ports of the same panel (case front panel/ rear panel) the issue is there, but once you use different panels (rear lineout + front mic / rear mic +front lineout) the duplex profile appears and stays there until the next reboot.

KDE audio controls do not show profiles for Analog Stereo Duplex or Analog Stereo Output

But the output sink is listed in the pacmd data

output:analog-stereo: Analog Stereo Output (priority 6500, available: unknown)

and 2 output ports (only headphones available so line-out may be muted automatically)

analog-output-lineout: Line Out (priority 9000, latency offset 0 usec, available: no)
                    properties:

            analog-output-headphones: Headphones (priority 9900, latency offset 0 usec, available: yes)
                    properties:
                            device.icon_name = "audio-headphones"

please post response to

pacmd dump

I suspect pulseaudio may not have module-device-manager loaded, causing KDE audio controls to malfunction
and the analog output sink may be suspended

Thanks for your response. Here’s the output:

during past few days pulseaudio have had a mixed behavior. Sometimes the profile was there and sometimes not. I also noticed that the configuration button of the Plasma’s “Audio Volume” panel also doesn’t work when the profiles are messed up.
