PulseAudio failes to load module "module-alsa-card"?

Support Sound

I just updated my Manjaro system and after a reboot PulseAudio is broken and neither the sound card of my GPU nor my USB-Audiointerface are recognized.
Here’s the journalctl error log:

I solved this myself.
The last time I updated my system I had issues with conflicting files so I renamed /usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/ so the directory was created newly by the system. I don’t know why but after the latest update PulseAudio apperantly wasn’t able to access the correct files for my audio-devices and therefore failed to load the correct audio profiles. I just renamed the ./mixer.old to ./mixer, restarted PulseAudio and now it’s working again.

Happened to me as well, I fixed by reinstalling alsa-card-profiles.
