Hello! I’m somewhat new-ish to Linux so please do bare with me. After installing Manjaro, randomly after a random amount of time audio will stop working. It would play videos and the test chime just fine, then all of a sudden stop and respond to neither; locking up the video and playing no test tone. This would happen in both the live disk from a USB drive, as well as a full install over multiple fresh installs. I also tried installing Pop Os and the same thing happened there. After a bit of research, I decided I’d try switching from Pulseaudio to Pipewire to see if that was the cause, but the issue still persists. I really don’t mind which audio service I end up using, so long as I can get something. Device in question is the usb DAC
Can’t post alsa report as I cannot post links.

Happy to post any further info if needed, or even fresh install back to pulseaudio as I’ve not really got any data to lose. Any help is appreciated as I’m slowly losing my mind
