System hangs on shutdown and reboot. Audio broken

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

Hello,

It seems a kernel update caused the issue. Many users who are using the default kernel seem to be facing the same issue.

Here is a thread that offers a workaround.

I don’t have this issue because I use a different kernel. If you don’t want to disable Blutooth then try this first.

6.6.23-273-tkg-linux-lts-tkg-pds

This is available in chaotic-aur you can add the repo to your pacman.conf. Find the instructions on how to add the repo here.

Then you can use the ‘akm’ tool that’s installed in your system to install the tkg-pds kernel. After installing restart the system. Select the TKG kernel and boot from that. See if your problems go away.
