I did the last update today and suddenly the audio disapperead.
Here some info from my system:

What should I do?

**shnorrer** · 16-Dec-2021, 07:34

Not only no audio but also I cannot select anything in Settings-->Sound-->Output device

**gogalthorp** · 16-Dec-2021, 11:21

Maybe try resetting up in Yast????

**shnorrer** · 17-Dec-2021, 01:20

How to do it?

**swannema** · 17-Dec-2021, 03:06

Did you manually switch to pipewire?

You have two audio devices and I suppose that you are using device 2. Can you give output of "aplay -l"?
With pipewire you need also wireplumber. Here the packages installed on my system and the status of wireplumber

Code:

Dear Philippe,

this is the result of the command:

Code:

play -l

I'm checking your suggestion/configuration.
I didn't switch, I simple updated my OS and suddenly my audio disappeared, maybe overriding my working configuration.
I'm going to update about the check soon.

**hendwolt** · 17-Dec-2021, 12:34

On one of my two Tumbleweed systems I had to activate the new wireplumber.service manually; for whatever reason.
It replaces the pipewire media session.

Code:

systemctl --user start wireplumber.service

brought back sound for me.

Code:

systemctl --user enable wireplumber.service

persists this.

**shnorrer** · 19-Dec-2021, 04:07

Dear all,

I updated the missing libs (from Philippe) and executed the command to persist the audio. Nothing changed.

What I have now is:

if I select in Yast-->Sound 8 Series HD audio controller as primary card, I cannot select anything in Settings-Sound, as if there isn't an audio card
if I select in Yast-->Sound Haswell-ULT HD Audio Controller as primary card, I can select in Settings-Sound the output, but I cannot listen to anything.

I'm using pipewire.

It seems the hardware has not been recognized. Is there any way to downgrade/revert what I have? Changing to pulseaudio is a good choice? Because I am in big trouble.

**shnorrer** · 19-Dec-2021, 04:42

An update: rebooting another one time, I changed from SLE classic to Cinnamon. Now I can hear the audio from the PC but still I cannot do the same with the headphone.
I couldn't know the desktop version can change the audio result.

Now, for the headphones, what could I do?

Note: If you didn't migrate your openSUSE account in June 2020, you will need to create a new account with a different email!

NOTE January 2022 - Changes to Gstreamer and Pipewire packages from Packman
