You may find that sound no longer works in your QEMU guests after the October 22 upgrade to QEMU 9.1.1-1. Downgrading QEMU to the previous version, QEMU 9.1.0-2, solves the problem for me:
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/qemu-*9.1.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
The issue has been reported upstream:
There’s also a discussion here:
Another temporary fix would be to pass through your host’s sound device. But this, of course, has other ramifications.
Arch attempted to fix the problem at their end with the release of QEMU 9.1.1-2:
However, this update did not fix the problem, so I have downgraded again to QEMU 9.1.0-2.
Meanwhile, the QEMU devs have not yet isolated the problem. So they plan to release QEMU 9.1.2 in about 10 days, which will essentially return users to the status quo ante of QEMU 9.1.0:
See Update version for 9.1.2 release
UPDATE as of 11/23/2024
Qemu 9.1.2 arrived on Arch Linux.
