Same issue here. It helps restarting pulseaudio - but it seems that applications needs to be restarted in order to output any sounds. This is a real hassle when happening in video calls. Are there any real fix for this ?

And I want to report (in a different post, to not mess the thread) that libx11 is still freezing Firefox tabs.
It’s kind of boring have to downgrade every time that I need to install or update a package.
This package should be downgraded from repo while it don’t get fixed, because the only fix to the 1.8.2 version is installing a AUR package, which don’t have support by Manjaro team.

I updated yesterday.
Today I suddenly noticed that when I start a Jetbrains product, the Xorg process starts grabbing all my systems memory (22GB) and eventually X crashes.
When I run VSCode, my memory usage remains fine, but the Xorg process consumes a full CPU core at 100%.
Note that I use Manjaro as a guest OS in VirtualBox on Windows. Since the issue seems graphics related I tried the following:
- Restart, but without 3d acceleration active in VBox
- Switching from lightdm to ly, to confirm lightdm is not causing the problem
- Switching from kernel 5.10 to 5.4 (since those are the kernels I have at the moment)
No success with those steps.
Any suggestions what I can do next? Is there something I can revert, as this VM is now close to unusable?
Just noticed the message from @rizuhaso , and saw we both use picom (I use it on i3, but same deal).
I killed picom and all is back to normal, so there might have been an issue introduced there.
edit:
There is already an issue open on picom side: A huge performance decrease after v. 10 · Issue #967 · yshui/picom · GitHub
Seems to be introduced in picom 10, which was part of this manjaro update.
It’s now fixed upstream with v107.
Toggling the Firefox GNOME Theme option in Layouts settings will pull the latest release.
Seems the UK mirror is too slow to handle the update

You can use pacman-mirrors to let it choose another one.
I had problems a while ago with systemsettings segfaulting on startup. It turned out to be that the theme I was using was buggy and was making some call or other that had been deprecated for a long while. (If memory serves correctly).
I can’t remember how I changed the theme without access to systemsettings, but presumably it was just an edit of one of the config files (possibly ~/.config/kwinrc).
Better check this:
Thanks!
Solved. Looks it’s not a problem with the update itself… very strange…
I noticed since the update that when on battery the CPU is stuck at the lowest frequency, when plugging it back to AC the CPU is still at the lowest frequency and I have to manually change the governor.
This may have happened with a previous update but I didn’t notice it before.
I can’t start any of my VMs after the Qemu packages got updated. It also removed edk22-armvirt in favor of edk2-aarch64. There is no error message, all I can see is that all VMs snap to the same CPU usage in Virt Manager and their is no output, they just get stuck.
Some potential workarounds were proposed in another thread:
if you search for VPN in the forum, you might even find a solution
you can add it to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf
Thanks for that - problem solved by clearing plasma caches

Could you see if this is fixed in the latest Firefox (v108, which was released to the Manjaro repository just today)?
yep, but this don’t solve. I mean, probably it’s a easy fix, and the problem it’s very annoying, so it’s kind of urgent…
Updated everything here, and nope, it is not fixed yet. An update of Firefox will not fix, it’s a problem with the libx11 itself.
