-> Missing AUR Packages: libopenaptx
Is this anything to be concerned about? Seems like libopenaptx is not in the AUR.
Edit: Looks like libopenaptx was replaced by libfreeaptx over some licensing issue. So I am assuming as long as you have libfreeaptx you can remove libopenaptx without losing any audio codec functionality.

The suggested fix will clear all user settings from 3 databases ā card-database, device-volumes and stream-volumes.
after reboot PulseAudio will be in the same state as when it was first installed*
so users will need to select devices and adjust levels to personal preference again
*equalizer settings for pulseaudio-equalizer-ladspa are not affected by this command

That did not fix the sound!
Have been using Manjaro KDE stable release on the same hardware for years, always using pamac to update the system as soon as a new update is available, with no problems I can ever recall, perhaps Iāve been lucky.
This time, pamac tells me thereās a 733 Mb update available, I start the process, which took over half hour (on my Gb connection). When it finished the download part, surprise!! it started the full 733 Mb download once again, this time taking almost an hour. After this second full download, the update appears to have completed succesfully.
Probably a mirror sync issue, nothing the Manjaro Team can do anything aboutā¦

No issue so far, everything working smoothly.
I am using KDE.
I suggest you start a new topic in the Sound category for this
and post system information
inxi -SMAa
and PulseAudio information

I just double checked: the last update of mhwd-db (0.6.5-15) is installed, but /etc/udev/rules.d/90-mhwd-prime-powermanagement.rules hasnāt been updated (I had fixed it myself, but also added a comment just to check if the file got overwritten in an update, but the comment is still there). I also checked the relative MHWDCONFIGfile of my setup (hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime) and indeed the fix is present in there (but only partially because only the audio over hdmi has been fixed, but also the USB xHCI Host Controller and the USB Type-C UCSI devices work correctly with a kernel >= 5.5, as said here)

So, do you have a .pacnew/pacsave file in that location?
Nope unfortunately
Yes I missed that. It works now after I changed from āheadphoneā to āline outā.
getting this warning doing this update:
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: xhci_pci
any reasons why the patch get removed?
And its still present on the RC Kernel: 0104-revert-xhci-Add-support-for-Renesas-controller-with-memory.patch Ā· master Ā· Packages / Core / linux514 Ā· GitLab

I noticed the same and reported on this thread:
Although Iām aware there is a workaround available, Iād rather not install firmware from the AUR.

can/should libopenaptx be removed?
Breeze is KDE, Breath2 is Manjaro custom theme, I think.

Maybe GNOME sent a spy to infiltrate Manjaro and give users a nudge into switching DEsā¦

A good plus for this update: I am seeing ~25% reduction in CPU/GPU usage for hardware video decoding (VAAPI).

Not really an issue, but a behaviour change that I donāt like: The system volume is now controlled by my Bluetooth headphones. I have my own volume setup (custom keys run custom scripts), completely separate from anything the system does, so I didnāt want that. If anyone else wants to restore the old behaviour, hereās the āsolutionā:
Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa and append ā avrcp_absolute_volume=falseā to the line that says āload-module module-bluetooth-discoverā (66 in my case), then restart PulseAudio with for example a reboot or āsystemctl --user restart pulseaudio.serviceā and also close and reopen all programs that play audio.
