Help request: No HDMI audio with kernel 6.1+

…Already tried switching to pulseaudio:

$ sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pulseaudio-bluetooth

and back to pipewire:
$ sudo pacman -S --needed pipewire pipewire-pulse

Read/tried

…and switched between pipewire-media-session manager and wireplumber, too:

$ yay -S pipewire-media-session
$ rm -R ~/.config/pulse ~/.local/state/wireplumber

<…>

$ yay -S wireplumber
$ rm -R ~/.config/pulse ~/.local/state/pipewire

…what to say, Mr. ricklinux: seems we both are following the same paths - that actually are leading us to nowhere.

And after all, ‘some way’ it works: at least as long as some 5.15.+ -realtime linux-rt-lts will be available.

And just to avoid surprises:
$ grep '^IgnorePkg' /etc/pacman.conf

IgnorePkg = linux-rt-lts linux-rt-lts-headers.

And just in case, I’ve got my btrfs snapshots: and again, I can manually activate a bluetooth speaker.

Not so orthodox, nor clean - at all - but… shall we consider this thread at least temporarily closed?

I do appreciate your help, but I don’t want this to turn into a nightmare.

It’s up to you, Mistah - thanks.
