Dear Maintainer,

I had to revert back the following packages:

[DOWNGRADE] alsa-ucm-conf:amd64 1.2.15-1 -> 1.2.14-1
[DOWNGRADE] alsa-utils:amd64 1.2.15-1 -> 1.2.14-1
[DOWNGRADE] libasound2-data:amd64 1.2.15-2 -> 1.2.14-2
[DOWNGRADE] libasound2-plugins:amd64 1.2.12-2+b4 -> 1.2.12-2+b1
[DOWNGRADE] libasound2-plugins:i386 1.2.12-2+b4 -> 1.2.12-2+b1
[DOWNGRADE] libasound2t64:amd64 1.2.15-2 -> 1.2.14-2
[DOWNGRADE] libasound2t64:i386 1.2.15-2 -> 1.2.14-2
[DOWNGRADE] libatopology2t64:amd64 1.2.15-2 -> 1.2.14-2

to have back my audio sinks and mic. With the new version of the pakages, in fact, pipewire/wireplumber only offers the Dummy output and no mic at all.

I have an ArrowLake notebook (Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 265H).

This is the output of "wpctl status" with the 1.2.14 packages:

         2. Video/Source  libcamera_input.__SB_.PC00.XHCI.RHUB.HS03-3.5_1.0-291a_3369

with the new packages there is only the "Dummy output" sink and no sources at all. The output of "aplay -l" and "aplay -L" do not change between 1.2.14 and 1.2.15-2.

Any suggestion?
