If an update caused you Wifi and Audio issues, this might help.

Hello my fellow noobs. If an recent update caused you any wifi or audio issues( no output) then this is what I did:

I solved both issues with the help of some guys on the Antergos Google+ community. To get Wifi working again I disabled everything except NetworkManager.service. That is to say, I ran the sudo systemctl disable <your.service> command on netctl.service, dhcpcd.service and wpa_supplicant.service and everything seems to be working fine. Turns out they were battling each other for resources(my noobish understanding of it) and there was conflict. Wifi automatically connects without any issues now. Like I said, I ran:

sudo systemctl disable netctl.service
sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd.service
sudo systemctl disable wpa_supplicant.service

Of course if you want to enable them again you can run this: sudo systemctl disable <your.service>

To solve the audio isssue I: went to /etc/conf.d/fluidsynth(open nautilus as Root) and locating the following line:
SYNTHOPTS="-is -a alsa -m alsa_seq -r 48000" Where you see the first alsa, I changed it to pulseaudio so that the line would look like this SYNTHOPTS="-is -a pulseaudio -m alsa_seq -r 48000"

You might consider it worthwhile to determine why you had so many conflicting network services installed and enabled in the first place - it could be educational.

Your audio tip will doubtless be helpful to other fluidsynth users, but it is not a solution for general audio issues, as implied in your thread title and the first line of your post.

They weren't by default. It was after a pacman -Syu that the problem came up and I started noticing fails on boot-up and shutdown. I am guessing it is a systemd bug.

The systemd bug only manifested on new installs, not upgrades.

I know they weren't installed by default - that's why I suggested you have a look into why they were installed, by you or some other user of the system.

If you beleive you have found a bug, report it.
