Dear all
I have just put back in place my clonezilla image and have sound again like it used to work since first installation. I had lost sound output with yesterdays pacman upgrade.
I could not debug any further as this is a production PVR box and reverted back ASAP. But i can say that it must be part of one of these packages available for upgrade after putting back yesterdays clonezilla image.
Additionally I can say that i was able to play videos / mp3 files without errors, it just didn't hear anything through HDMI / Analog Stereo.

# ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf
# ALSA configuration file
##### DEVICE NAMES #####
# This configuration file defines four devices for use by the user.
# Those devices are "analog", "mixed-analog", "digital", "mixed-digital", and "xbmc".
# The user may also re-define "default" to be identical to one of the above-named devices
# (i.e. to send all sound output to the digital output unless otherwise specified).
# Use the device names as described below:
# - "analog" outputs to the analog output directly and (at least on software sound cards)
# blocks other audio output. After playback completes, "queued" sounds are output in sequence.
# - "mixed-analog" mixes audio output from multiple programs into the analog output
# (so you can hear beeps, alerts, and other noises while playing back an audio stream)
# - "digital" outputs to the digital output directly. Since most (all?)
# digital outputs expect 48kHz PCM audio, this may not work for some playback
# (i.e. CD's--which are 44.1kHz PCM audio--or 32kHz audio streams from TV recordings, etc.)
# - "mixed-digital" mixes audio output from multiple programs into the digital output.
# - "xbmc" outputs 6channels to digital (hdmi) as well as stereo to analog.
# Set Custom Output Device in XBMC to "xbmc" and Custom Passthrough Device to "digital".
# All other devices created within this file are used only by the configuration
# file itself and should /not/ be used directly. In other words, do not use
# the devices "analog-hw", "dmix-analog", "digital-hw", or "dmix-digital".
##### IMPORTANT #####
# To make this ALSA configuration file work with your sound card, you will need
# to define the appropriate card and device information for the "analog-hw" and
# "digital-hw" devices below. You can find the card and device information
# using "aplay -l".
# Make joint analog/HDMI the default

Something similar happened to me recently, The solution was to hit the comma key when in alsamixer. That will unmute it.

Hi rgb-one
Thanks for the tip. I could not verify it because when I tried to upgrade again yesterday the problem did not happen again. But maybe someone else affected can be helped with it.
