Ok, i will try the LTS kernel…
Also, I suspended my session again and same issue with no sound. I then went into alsamixer and noticed my FRONT speakers/volume was muted. I unmuted and I get the crackling/buzzzing sound. Then if I go into Audio Settings and change Profile to something else and back to default, the sound works.
Very weird!
Is there a way to save alsamixer settings to always have the FRONT speaker/volume unmuted at all times?
So I tried the linux-lts kernel and same issue.
To get your profile settings persistent you can try to set a default sink and profile via config file.
How to do that is described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PulseAudio/Examples
in chapters 3 and 4.
All I do now, is basically googling the problem as I kind of ran out of ideas, sorry.
In the Arch forum from 2021 I found the same issue and there the problem was linked to alsa and a downgrade of alsa solved it. But that also is not a permanent solution…
I will look at the documents and I appreciate all the help.
If you do run across anything else please let me know.
Thanks
In case I read or experience something promising, I will let you know. And maybe someone else here in the forum will post a suitable solution, who knows.
Hello again,
this thread from the Manjaro forum made me think that you should also check the status of the pipewire-systemd-service after suspend, when you have the problem:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/no-audio-after-suspend/78472/2
systemctl --user status pipewireEdit: If you wish to switch from pipewire to pulseaudio to test if it works then, there was this post here in the forum: Switching between Pipewire and Pulseaudio
Hi Pig,
So, I switched DE’s to Gnome and sound was much better. Been working for about month until I ran latest updates this morning. Now I have no sound. I might be using wireplumber instead of pipewire. How do I confirm that?
You could’ve checked this out, on EnOS-Wiki, with or without changing DEs / re-installing:
https://discovery.endeavouros.com/audio/pipewire/2021/09/
On top of all this, there is an article on another forum, to dive much deeper into all pipewire-related stuff:
I have posted this one umpty times before, on this forum. 
In addition to what ivanhoe wrote:
Do you know what exactly got updated that might have broken your sound?
you can check your latest installed/updated packages with:
expac --timefmt='%Y-%m-%d %T' '%l\t%n' | sort | tail -n 20when expac is installed.
Replace the “20” with whatever number of updates/installs that should be shown.
Below I’ve listed the last 50 updates. The updates from 5/10 broke my sound, but then I found this
systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse wireplumber.service
online and it fixed my sound.
I just another update tonight and now sound doesn’t work again. I try to restart services but nothing happens.

Thanks for this. I will have to give this a try.
