Audio broken after Tumbleweed update

[BobLeRigoleur]

Hey guys. After TW’s last update, my audio is not working at all. Usually Plasma’s audio manager lists my peripherals, but now I have nothing:

I did a rollback and everything was back to normal. Installed the update again, the issue came back. I checked that pipewire-pulseaudio AND pipewire AND wireplumber were installed and running.

Okay so I know I’m supposed to give logs and stuff but… I don’t know what to give. I typed sudo dmesg but it gave me thousands of incomprehensible lines : 67.2 KB file on MEGA

Then there’s boot.log in /var/log, equally as big and incomprehensible to me : 49.2 KB file on MEGA

To get the audio infos I typed aplay --list-devices and got this:

**** Liste des périphériques matériels PLAYBACK ****
carte 0 : PCH [HDA Intel PCH], périphérique 0 : ALC293 Analog [ALC293 Analog]
 Sous-périphériques : 1/1
 Sous-périphérique #0 : subdevice #0
carte 0 : PCH [HDA Intel PCH], périphérique 3 : HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
 Sous-périphériques : 0/1

carte 0 : PCH [HDA Intel PCH], périphérique 8 : HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
 Sous-périphériques : 1/1
 Sous-périphérique #0 : subdevice #0

And kernel info when i typed uname -a:

Linux laptopjuju 6.7.7-1-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Mar  1 13:51:21 UTC 2024 (1ff84c5) x86_64 x
86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Does anybody have an idea?

Sound stopped in Plasma

My sound has stopped working in Plasma. It is not an issue with my sound cards or drivers as I’ve run speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav and get sound. Plasma shows no devices installed. The volume widged, for example, shows “No output or input devices found” and the audio module in system settings is blank. I’ve run alsa-info. Here is some partial output. I can include more if necessary. upload=true&script=true&cardinfo= !!################################ !!ALSA Information Script v 0…

No audio devices after latest kernel upgrade

I ran zypper dup --allow-vendor-change yesterday and upgraded to kernel 6.7.7-1-default (64-bit). I noticed a fair number of kernel firmware upgrades go through. Now I have no audio devices recognised, neither the on-board audio, the thunderbolt interfaces, bluetooth headphones etc. Is this a glitch in the upgrade and needs reporting as a bug or is there something I can do to re-instate them?

[BobLeRigoleur]

I have perused those already. As I said, I doubled checked wireplumber, pipewire and pipewire-pulse are installed and running.

[deano_ferrari]

The inxi output (showing alsa driver and sound server components) seems ok, and the higher-level wireplumber output looks the same for both snapshots at a quick glance.

[deano_ferrari]

@BobLeRigoleur

Usually Plasma’s audio manager lists my peripherals, but now I have nothing:

Back to this question - what peripheral is it that you are missing?

[deano_ferrari]

Just in case this is relevant to your particular situation…
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1221150

Late here, so will check back on this tomorrow sometime. Hopefully others can review and advise further.

[BobLeRigoleur]

Here’s a screenshot from the audio setting in Plasma, when the audio works:

You can compare with the very first post. It lists the microphone and the speaker as peripherals, whilst in the screenshot of the first post, I have that weird HDMI/DisplayPort that is grayed.

[AR800]

Hi all, for me running this command after having deleted the local files (make sure to back up them) from .local/state/wireplumber/ fixed the issue:
systemctl --user restart pipewire.service
Regards.

[BobLeRigoleur]

I’m the stupidest man alive.

TW did find my audio peripherals, it just chose to ignore them by default after the update. In Plasma’s audio setting, I found the unused peripherals and simply click to activate my mic and speaker -_-

I’m very sorry to have disturbed y’all with this bs.

[andrea.ippo]

Well to be fair I would still consider it a bug if it just disabled your audio gear without asking for permission

[deano_ferrari]

Well, that explains why the terminal output seemed to check out ok. We all make mistakes, so glad that you realised what was needed to get the mic and speaker visible again.

[AR800]

On a side note, your humbleness and ability of recognizing your mistake makes you smarter than 99% of earth’s population.
