I upgraded to linux-3.1-2 from [testing] a few days ago (x86_64), and I had problems with ALSA. Sound was broken - KMixer treated Headphone as master, and alsamixer has changed, too. I tried everything but I couldn't get sound to work. Did anyone else have this or a similiar issue?
It happens a lot with alsa that mixer controls change.
For many ALSA drivers, there are workarounds for such detection
failures. Google them.
I'll check it if I reboot someday.
I can't test it unfortunately, as I would have to reboot even to load a new kernel module after upgrading because of changed paths.
If you do not plan to reboot, do not update the kernel.
Yes, that's what I do, I added linux-* to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf so it isn't upgraded. Maybe I'll give it another try when I have to reboot because of something.
