loon,
No idea if this is a similar problem or not: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/lost-all-access-to-network-shares-under-11-2-2.2286568/
If it is, a downgrade to 11.2.1 might solve it.

I had unmounting problems with my USB-C external hard drives and then could not get Time Machine to work even after updating to 11.2.2.
A reinstall via Recovery of 11.2.2 has resolved the issue.

Steve,
If I read your post correctly, the update failed but the complete reinstall made it whole?
Reason I ask is that on another thread, I explained my sound went away after the 11.2.2 update; the downgrade to 11.2.1 brought it back.
If I start feeling brave, maybe I should try the recovery route and go ahead to 11.2.2.
Maybe LOL

thanks for the help.
Its extremely annoying since my MacBook is my workstation and I use my SSD everyday for work.
Just updated tot 11.2.2 but it usually unmount when I start using the hard drive (updating software/overwriting files on the SSD)

Yes, the update did not resolve my issue but it appears so far that the complete reinstall via Recovery Mode has.
Followup:
At Apple's request I reinstalled the 11.2.2 update from the App Store over the 11.2.1 downgrade I'd put in previously. The Headphone Port remained! No idea why. It has been three days since I did this, and the port is still there - it survived two nightly shutdowns and came back each morning no problem - so far.

I've been having the same issue with a Thunderbolt NVME drive (Nekteck, a rebranded Plugable). It was happening only from time to time, once every day or two. Since 11.2.3 it's happening over and over every minute and I had to unplug it.
My external SSD using a SATA enclosure connected via USB 3.2 has not had this issue at all.
Both are connected directly to Mac Mini 2018 Thunderbolt ports via USB-C. Neither one is connected to a hub or dock. Swapping ports makes no difference.

ANNNNNNND its back.
extremely annoying since I keep alot of my work stuff on an SSD because its just easier incase I service it and data is lost or I can connect it to my gaming laptop to work.
But man its freaking annoying its definitely due to Big Sur. Had no problems before
