Sound broken after updates to alsa packages

So I ended up using a FAQ on these forums, namely the “The “I don’t care” way” as I misunderstood the params for overwrite in the Arch wiki, still need to reboot to see if it fixed it, but this is what I ran to fix the file conflict issue:


sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/bin/aserver,usr/include/*,usr/lib/*,usr/share/*

And the output FWIW:

Edit: Can confirm sound works now after reboot
