I lost my audio after performing pacman -Syu.
System specs:
GIGABYTE GA-H97-D3H
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Realtek ALC1150
Desktop Cinammon
So far I have downgraded my kernel to 3.16.1-1 from 3.17.6-1 and still no joy. When playing a video with the volume very high I here crackling noises. I've tried the wiki alsa & pa troubleshooting with no luck. Rebooting to windows I get sound and booting a live distro (ubuntu) I get sound.
Any help will be appreciated.
TIA,
Splash

You will need to do some investigation and try to give some more details. Are you using pulseaudio?
What is the sound chip?
$ lspci | grep Audio
Any entries in the journal
# journalctl -b --no-pager | grep audio
Is the correct module loaded
$ lsmod | grep snd

thank you for the post
Yes running pulseaudio (gnome & cinammon desktops are installed). My sound card is a Realtek ALC1150.

This looks interesting:
ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write
There is a bug report at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39186 which refers to a fforum topic at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=177979
One suggested fix is
Editing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf adding the line:
default-fragment-size-msec = 5
But first I suggest that you do a full system update
# pacman -Syu
PS I see two audio controllers, but no Realtek, you seem to be using the Intel one, but maybe I misunderstood.
Hope this helps.

Thanks again for the post. I did pacman -Syu yesterday before downgrading my kernel today with same results, no sound. I'm going to reboot again to live distro and see if the lspci gives same output this evening (@work). Maybe udev being overly helpful, I'll also try editing default-fragment-size-msec = 5 and restart pulse.
I'll post my results,

Could you post the output of aplay -lL ? (That is a lower case L followed by an upper case L)

I have sound!
The Fix, completely power of machine, Power on. Not a clue why or where to look but it happens after rebooting to windows (not something I do very often, no time for games).

look at comment 20.
HTH someone else,
