Sound broken with latest pipewire update (1:0.3.24-1)

Can confirm. My system’s audio is also broken right now. No audio devices detected. checking the pipewire service shows that it’s enabled and running

● pipewire.service - Multimedia Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service; enabled; vendor preset: en>
Active: active (running) since Fri 2021-03-19 17:04:35 +08; 4min 46s ago
TriggeredBy: ● pipewire.socket
Main PID: 1306 (pipewire)
CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/session.slice/pipewire.servi>
└─1306 /usr/bin/pipewire

Edit : Fixed by following the suggestions in this thread on reddit . TLDR ; Replace /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/media-session.conf with /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/media-session.conf.pacnew if you have it in the directory. If not, nuke the whole /etc/pipewire folder and reinstall pipewire (and all the dependencies)
