Yes tried on all ports on mobo, issue still occurs. I only have a single USB 2.0 port, tried that.. didnt work.
Tried downgrading kernel as well, still the same thing.

Fiio Q1 MkII is a portable dac, it has a battery in it and it gets charged when connected to a computer. Could that be the reason behind it not working properly ? But that doesnt explain how it used to work fine on elementary, and kubuntu.

I managed to fix this, apparently manjaro's default behavior is to conserve power by shutting down usb devices after few seconds. I disabled that using TLPUI. Now my audio works perfectly fine.

And I thought only windows does this by default.

Wow, I didn't even know that was a thing.

Thanks for letting me know about this issue. I moved form debian to Manjaro just last Sunday. And I now know about an issue that I could face.
Btw, ever experience this bug?:
After you leave the PC for a certain time and come back to unlock it, you are greeted by a black screen, with only the mouse cursor. No matter what you do, you don't get the login screen.
Happened with me a couple of times, and I think it's a known bug (even Chris Titus Tech, from Youtube go this issue).

You should try logging in using one of the virtual terminals using Ctrl + Alt + F1..F9, then run `htop` and see if there are any processes that are frozen. You could also try unfreezing your session using `loginctl` though I don't remember the exact syntax.

Yes faced this, ill look for a fix.

Ugh if you use arch, you would have known exactly what is causing it. Ditch Manjaro broo

 

[skeletor]

Used from year 2007 to 2018. Then bought a Macbook which is my daily driver.

The main OS on the desktop is still Linux though.

 

[Vyom]

Windows 10.
It has been providing me with work.

Windows provide my daily dough too. But I choose not to be invaded by them in my personal life though.

 

[Theodre]

I have been using Linux as a daily driver since Fuduntu days!

Removed Windows 7 since Ubuntu 12.04 if my brain is working right!
Been using Manjaro as a daily driver for the last 4 years.

I game, code and work in it!

Glad to see some movement here in the opensource section BTW!

 

[Vyom]

Didn't know about Fuduntu!
Manjaro is best man. Been using it for few months now. It's what I imagined Linux should have been.

 

[Desmond]

My first distro was Knoppix. It's still around.

Currently using my Manjaro with KDE.

Might try and setup KDE on my Linux installation.. Kind of bored with gnome.

I suggest doing a fresh install. Installing both KDE and Gnome on same distro will add a lot of bloat.

 

[Nerevarine]

KDE isn't as snappy as I hoped to be, even with official Nvidia drivers and a 1080.
Its the most feature rich UI though. Just not as snappy.

Was it using OpenGL 2.x or 3.x?

It will take up some disk space but otherwise should be negligible.

 

[Desmond]

But your system will be a mess of GTK libraries and Qt libraries. While this is not a big issue it can have other issues such as inconsistent UI design among GTK and Qt applications.

 

[Nerevarine]

Fragmentation of above and the multiple package managers are the major downsides of Linux.
I wish everything got consolidated but that's not gonna happen.
