Downgrading kernel is only viable as a short-term fix

Simpler long-term solution is to install kernel v6.0

Audio only works the first time I play something. Then I have to restart to get it working again

Welcome to Manjaro forum There are lot of similar reports about audio problems with kernel update including some ALSA related bug for Intel Skylake and later generations including TigerLake A lot of users have confirmed that the best, simple solution for this is to install kernel v6.0 using either Manjaro Settings Manager GUI tool, or copy/paste this to terminal sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux60

Audio randomly cutting out on Manjaro KDE

Welcome to Manjaro forum There have been a lot of similar reports about audio problems after latest update. The issue affects ALSA audio for Intel Skylake (6th gen) to TigerLake (11th gen) systems with LTS kernels v5.10 and v5.15 Many users have confirmed that the best, simple solution for this is to install kernel v6.0 using either Manjaro Settings Manager GUI tool, or copy/paste this to terminal sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux60

Sound randomly disappears after the last update

I switched to 6.0.11, and the sound works again. I hope nothing else gets broken with the new kernel.
