Leap 15.6 Lost Sound

I have managed to mess up my sound and looking for a remedy.
I did some re-configuring of my task bar and it is now how I want it to be.
All sound now is muffled and essentially inaudible on Test Sounds, Firefox and VLC.

You have two sound servers, although PipeWire is disabled. I’d recommend replacing PulseAudio with PipeWire’s compatibility layer. The package you want is called pipewire-pulseaudio. This package provides the pipewire-pulse daemon and PulseAudio client libraries to support apllications that still rely on the PulseAudio API. When you install the package, it will remove the native PulseAudio packages that are no longer required.

Once you have PipeWire running (with pipewire-pulse), the next step is to share your current sound profile configuration
pactl list cards
Make sure the profile and sinks are setup as desired. You can use the KDE audio applet for that, as well volume levels, muting/unmuting etc.

pipewire-pulseaudio installed. Rebooted. Audio Analog Stereo Output & Analog Stereo Duplex still muffled/Distorted.

Let’s have a look at the ALSA sound diagnostics. Run the alsa-info.sh script as described here…

Post the link to the uploaded output in your reply.

Per your request, I ran the script to stdout and uploaded to susepaste.

So you’re using line level audio output to drive powered speakers (or an external amplifier driving speakers) right?

Correct. No speakers on monitor. Speakers & sub-woofer powered from the wall, driven from lineout.

Ok, thanks for confirming. I noticed that the master control is not set as high as expected (-23dB attenuation)… have you tried adjusting that control?

Run alsamixer -c 1, find the Master slider, and raise it to 64 (0.00 dB attenuation) to see if that fixes the “muffled” sound you observed.

I have tried [alsamixer -c 1] but it only makes the muffled/distorted sound louder/softer with no change in quality. It also pretty much reflects what I can do in [Audio - System Settings]

Ok, it was worth a shot. Not a faulty line out jack or cable perhaps? Does the headphone output sound ok?

Is there a list of sound software I could re-install to try to clear this problem as an alternative to re-installing Leap 15.6?

Did you try re-plugging the line out connectors (in case not mated properly)? Just want to eliminate that as a possible cause of the muffled sound you report (eg loss of ground connection).

Just tried replugging. No change.

Is it a single jack (left, right, and ground)? Not a surround sound system right? Do you have a multimeter to check continuity of cable connections end to end? (Hard to diagnose this from distance.)

Just an idea…try removing the current wireplumber state with
rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber
and restart wireplumber
systemctl --user restart wireplumber

Adjust the sound levels as you like, and test again. Any different?

OK Tried the wireplumber parm delete and restart. No Change.

Sound is driven from a single, multi-contact line-out plug with left/right/ground. In my original post, I stated that I made changes to my X11-KDE-Plasma Task Bar. The hardware was not touched at that time and not touched until the unplug/replug test minutes ago. I do not have a modern multimeter; the one I have (if I could find it) is decades old…

The reconfiguring I did on the task bar was to remove multiple geeko buttons installed by the system and not asked for by me. I had some difficulties as got into Show Alternatives - Window List Mode and am now using Alternatives - Icons Only Task Manager. I just tried switching these modes again and there was no change.

I can’t imagine how that would impact here.

You’re not using EasyEffects at all?

My feelings exactly. That is what makes this so troubling. I “fixed” a layout problem and it broke the software. I agree that I had a “messy” sound configuration but that is how the installer set the system up in early August and it worked until the “fix” to the layout of the Task Bar.

Should I try to put the separate pulseaudio and wireplumber back on the system?
