Re: [SOLVED] No sound after alsa/pacman-related updates

Solved by rm ~/.local/state/wireplumber/ and restarting the system.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound after alsa/pacman-related updates

Same thing here with a Scarlett 18i20. Deleting ~/.local/state/wireplumber/ has no effect for me.

I noticed the update also had rearranged my card ID #'s in /proc/asound/cards. I updated my /etc/asound.conf to reflect this. But still no sound.

Forgot to mention that in my sound card output it had changed the defaulto from headphones to normal stereo. That did it.
