I want to be able to play video and start streaming videos
After I updated the kernel and alsa-plugin to
linux-5.5.2.artix1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
alsa-plugins-1.2.1-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
I am unable to play video.
I get the error message
dsp_protocol_open_node(): Could not open pcm device file /dev/dsptask/pcm2
and dmesg
segfault at 0 ip 00007f12fe33f6f5 sp 00007ffe07b87908 error 4 in libc-2.30.so[7f12fe203000+14d000]
How can I resolve this unfortunately I do not have old kernel in the cache anymore
It's actually alsa-plugins that's the problem here not the kernel. The new version comes with extra configuration that breaks certain ALSA setups. You can see more details on theArch report (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65440). Anyway, we'll push the fix ASAP. In the meantime, you could downgrade alsa-plugins, remove it, or install the new one in Arch.
thanks. the update to
alsa-plugins-1.2.1-5
did the trick.
