Sound issues after last update

Support Sound
1

Hiya, after updating i seem to be having some issues with my sound.

neither my analogue or spdif are consistently not outputing audio

On occasion sound will work from my monitors built in speakers but not consistently,

I’ve made a few logs using the manjaro log helper, Any help at all would be greatly appreciated

Kernel 5.7 is EOL please upgrade to an LTS or a higher version.

can we have a pacmd dump too?

  1. pacmd looks good to me.

  2. Did you upgrade your kernel and did it make a difference? If no, please provide an

    inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host

    as that provides more information…

  3. what does alsamixer show when it’s working / not working?

:thinking:
