Audio output went mono (right only) from stereo after kernel updating; it might be an imagined coincidence but the result was perceived to occur after a bunch of Haskell pkgs came into the usual Garuda Assistant System Update batch stream.
I use Analog Surround 4.0 Output + Analog Stereo Input to keep mic available.
In the past I have had success solving audio issues by turning Pulse Audio off and keeping Pipewire, but it has not helped in this case.
I tried to apply a solution from the forum from May using the jamesDSP audio settings but package manager is failing to download from both AUR and ChaoticAur returning fail message "Error: Failed to prepare transaction invalid or corrupted database."
Any suggestions are appreciated, thx!
