Had that since yesterday I think, glad you found a fix.
Arch Linux
The beloved lightweight distro
It's already fixed upstream as of this morning. The Pipewire devs are absolute wizards. The small patch is easy to apply to the pipewire PKGBUILD if you want to manually patch the package yourself.
This doesn't seem to happen to me. Are you using pipewire by any chance?
Yes. I found the issue. Seems like there's a regression in pipewire-pulse
0.3.77. Thanks for helping test anyways :)
Thanks for this - I have been seeing the same symptoms with connecting/disconnecting USB audio devices on a brand new (<24 hours old) Endeavour install. I'll check pipewire version in the AM.
Np! It's already fixed upstream by the way. It's a super small patch so it was easy enough to download the pipewire-pulse PKGBUILD and patch the package myself.
