[FONT=arial]Temporary work around:

  • Reverted back to working situation (snapper rollback, I love it!)
  • Reboot
  • Added locks to zypper (after some experimenting):
zypper al 'alsa*' libasound2

[/FONT][FONT=arial]Now I can do zypper dup again without breaking sound.

If someone has a real solution, or needs more information, just post it here.

Create bug report.

Have the same issue. Have you created a report @PCU?

I think this has been fixed upstream: https://www.alsa-project.org/wiki/Changes_v1.2.6_v1.2.6.1

It’s a matter of including that version in the next tumbleweed update. Not sure if this is by request or it’ll happen automatically for the next release.

I posted it as a bug, just in case that’s still needed.
Couldn’t find any other reports of this in bugzilla.

I did not create a bug report, did not find the time to do so. Thanks @stanski for doing so.

In the meanwhile I saw new updates, including alsa stuff. So I removed my zypper locks, did an update a can confirm that the update does not break sound anymore. I am now a[FONT=arial]t TW20211212 and sound is OK.
