If you have pulseaudio installed, it is quite likely to be causing the problem
(especially if it wasn't installed previously). If that's it, either kick the
thing
to the curb or install pavucontrol or similar and try to configure it that way.
(Do *not* on *any* account install pavucontrol if pulse is not already
there—it will probably drag pulse in and make things worse.)
If you went from SysV init/OpenRC to systemd on your last upgrade,
that would have changed the way ALSA settings are saved and may be
the culprit.
Regardless, this is quite likely an ALSA problem and nothing to do
with TDE.
Possibly of interest for the large selection of diagnostic commands given:
