Hi,
Does anyone else experience audio problems after recent system updates? This is what’s happening now on my system:
-no proper audio passthrough to av receiver, only gets dolby digital no dts-hd/atmos etc via kodi.
All was working fine but recently things got messed up. Already checked settings in kodi, pavucontrol (flatpak), flatseal, audio config in system settings. Even booting from a previous snapshot/kernel results in the same errors strangely…
Any help would be great!
p.s. the gpu is a 7800xt
Also youtube video previews play smoothly when hovering on it with cursor. Seems thing go wrong when audio is involved.
Update:
When I play a video or audio every the application stucks and no outputs.
On what hardware is this happening?
I’ve reinstalled pipewire, pipewire-pulseaudio, pipewire-alsa and gstreamer-plugin-pipewire. Still same problem. Anyone got an idea?

Can you perform the vendor switch again. It seems that not all Mesa packages are switched…but it may be a difference between AMD and Intel systems. But to be sure:
sudo zypper dist-upgrade --from packman --allow-vendor-change
magician@localhost:~> sudo zypper dist-upgrade --from packman --allow-vendor-change
The following 5 packages are going to be upgraded:
The following 5 packages are going to change vendor:http://packman.links2linux.de http://packman.links2linux.de http://packman.links2linux.de http://packman.links2linux.de http://packman.links2linux.de
5 packages to upgrade, 5 to change vendor.
The solution was disabling ‘sync playback to display’ in kodi. No idea how that got changed up…

Yes. I experience audio problems with I’m using Firefox on LEAP. Sound problems seem to be a common problem with Firefox on Linux. Deleting the PulseAudio configuration in your HOME folder and rebooting helps when I’m having problems.
Deleting the PulseAudio configuration in your HOME folder and rebooting helped when I was having problems. run:
rm ~/.config/pulse/*
Reboot. The configuration will be rebuilt when the reboot is finished.

It seems rebooting is unnecessary, if deleting config files in your own user account subdirs.
Case in point … I refer to an issue with some Chromium based browsers that have issues with rendering content after an update. To fix, you delete the GPUCache subdir for the browser in question, then simply log out and then log back in. No reboot necessary.

I have this exact issue after updating. It isn’t just youtube though. MPV is also broken, and video games stutter and feel like they are dropping frames, despite reporting a constant framerate
EDIT: MPV works with the --no-audio flag enabled

Found a temporary fix:
Execute wireplumber in a terminal emulator.
Issue a CTRL + C interrupt to the wire plumber process.
Reconnect your audio devices.
Then it should work for that boot, but as soon as you reboot, this process will need to be repeated.
So the problem is pointing towards the combination of a amd gpu and pipewire then. On my intel based laptop with a igpu zero problems.
Pipewire-pulse to be precise.
