[SOLVED] no audio or internet after running pacman

I fixed the issue by updating pacman in the live environment

Yesterday I went to enable the multilib repository to install Steam. After uncommenting the

[multilib]
Includue = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

lines in /etc/pacman.conf and executing "sudo pacman -Syu" and rebooting my install broke. Given what alsa and NetworkManager show it seems that no audio or internet devices are working. Booting the live environment everything works and the BIOS diagnosnics report the same. Is there anything I could do to fix this or should I reinstall?

No audio and no internet usually means you didn't boot the kernel you think you did. Do you have a separate /boot partition? Was it mounted when you updated? Check uname -r.

Re: [SOLVED] no audio or internet after running pacman

If your description is accurate, you didn't install anything from multilib, so uncommenting those lines is an irrelevant coincidence.  You may want to broaden your search and update your title as whatever symptoms you are seeing have nothing to do with uncommenting the multilib repo in your pacman.conf.  If not a kernel version mismatch as Scimmia notes, then the problem could come from one of the packages that were updated - what was updated?  Post your pacman.log.

The kernel read as 6.2.2-arch1-1

If uname -r is reporting 6.2.2-arch1-1 while the installed linux package is 6.2.6.arch1-1 then that is the mismatch Scimmia suggested.
What is the output of

$ findmnt -T /boot
# blkid

Findmnt output

Blkid didn't print anything to the terminal
