No sound after update

I did a system update yesterday, and today my sound doesn't work at all.
I'll post the logs I think can be of interest, if anything's missing then tell me.

I'm having audio through S/PDIF (Coax) on my motherboard. I've tried to unmute, mute and so on in alsamixer with no result what so ever. And the config I've saved has worked for over half a year.

uname -r

Re: No sound after update

After trying to downgrade all packages with no success I believe it CAN be from the update before that one, here's the log from pacman on that update:

Any ideas?

Re: No sound after update

Changing the volume in alsamixer would affect sound that's being sent to ALSA directly. Is this what's happening? A guaranteed way to use ALSA is

aplay some_wav_file.wav

. What is your lsmod? Are the same snd modules as before still being loaded? When you say the config that you've saved has worked for over a year... is this your .asoundrc?

Great things come in tar.xz packages.
