Update breaks pipewire audio setup. 'Default Alsa Profile' missing

I updated my system yesterday and noticed today, that my Audio setup was completely broken.

I assume the problem is with the "pipewire 1:1.4.0-2" and related packages, but I have not tested it completely yet.

I restored a backup and with these versions everything works as expected:
    $ pacman -Q | grep pipe
    kpipewire 6.3.2-1
    libpipeline 1.5.8-1
    libpipewire 1:1.2.7-1
    pipewire 1:1.2.7-1
    pipewire-alsa 1:1.2.7-1
    pipewire-audio 1:1.2.7-1
    pipewire-jack 1:1.2.7-1
    pipewire-pulse 1:1.2.7-1
    pipewire-session-manager 1:1.2.7-1
    qemu-audio-pipewire 9.2.0-2

In my system audio settings I can choose either "Default Alsa Profile" or "Pro Audio" for my GoXLRMini after the update only the "Pro Audio" option was available.

Is this a known problem?

Re: Update breaks pipewire audio setup. 'Default Alsa Profile' missing

There's some new handling for specific UCM configurations maybe you're falling into a bug here. Does the journal

journalctl -b-1 --user-unit pipewire --user-unit wireplumber --user-unit pipewire-pulse

give any errors (assuming the boot prior you were on the new packages?)

Sometimes also just wireplumber state corrupting itself, check whether removing ~/.local/state/wireplumber works for restoring order even when updating.

Re: Update breaks pipewire audio setup. 'Default Alsa Profile' missing

Since I have reverted my entire root partition I don't think I have easily accessible logs from the broken state. But I will install the updates again and look at the logs and try removing the directory this weekend to narrow things down.

But since my home partition is not reverted, I doubt that my user specific wireplumber state is the problem.

Re: Update breaks pipewire audio setup. 'Default Alsa Profile' missing

The second assertion shows that it could be the problem, so verify that.

I've updated my system again and now have logs. It worked before I rebooted but is broken again now. I've included the logs for both boots:

Re: Update breaks pipewire audio setup. 'Default Alsa Profile' missing

I've downgraded these packages

libpipewire pipewire pipewire-alsa pipewire-audio pipewire-jack pipewire-pulse pipewire-session-manager

and that fixes it for now. What can I do to further narrow down the problem, seeing as the logs don't show any errors when I have the newer packages installed?

Re: Update breaks pipewire audio setup. 'Default Alsa Profile' missing

I also had problems with both versions 1:1.4.1-1 and 1:1.4.0-2.   
My problem was that pipewire was taking 100% of one core, which indicated to me something was not right. Audio still seemed to work though, although I did not test everything audio related. 
I downgraded to 1:1.2.7 and all back to normal. 
I used this command:   

pacman -U /home/root-var-cache-pacman-pkg/libpipewire-1:1.2.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /home/root-var-cache-pacman-pkg/pipewire-1:1.2.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /home/root-var-cache-pacman-pkg/pipewire-audio-1:1.2.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /home/root-var-cache-pacman-pkg/pipewire-pulse-1:1.2.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /home/root-var-cache-pacman-pkg/pipewire-session-manager-1:1.2.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst  /home/root-var-cache-pacman-pkg/alsa-card-profiles-1:1.2.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Re: Update breaks pipewire audio setup. 'Default Alsa Profile' missing

I started running into the same issue yesterday, I did downgrade everything to get it working again. Anyone know if this bug has been reported?

I haven’t had time to do research on it and I’m still at work. I just want to make sure if this is a bug it gets reported.

Also it’s still happening with a fresh install. I was doing some work the other day and thought I broke something.
