Dunno how this happened, but I completely lost sound(headphones, speakers) today.Any help will be appreciated
tried almost everything from the opensuse sdb:audio troubleshooting and I’m in a dead end now.
Here is my alsa information if it helps
You have both pusleaudio and pipewire active (only one service should be)…
!Sound Servers on this system
!!----------------------------
PipeWire:
Installed - Yes (/usr/bin/pipewire)
Running - Yes
Pulseaudio:
Installed - Yes (/usr/bin/pulseaudio)
Running - Yes
Let’s see what is installed…
zypper se -si pulse pipe
and confirm which units are enabled…
systemctl --user list-unit-files | grep -i "pipe|pulse"
Some users have found issues with using the newer pipewire server framework, and so you can take steps to disable it if desired. Or you can remove the pulseaudio package, and so that only pipewire is active.
More info:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Pipewire
You have three sound card devices installed as well. Ignoring the USB camera (with mic input), you still need to identify which PCI device you are using and perhaps use pavucontrol to set the profile and output sink…

"systemctl --user list-unit-files | grep -i “pipe|pulse” " gives nothing
Oh, forgot to mention I disabled pipewire yesterday but today’s update re-installed (a newer version prolly) and obviously activated it
Ok, that looks as expected based on your first post (ie pulseaudio and pipewire installed).
[/QUOTE]
"systemctl --user list-unit-files | grep -i “pipe|pulse” " gives nothing[/QUOTE]
Sorry, my bad… that should have been with egrep…
systemctl --user list-unit-files | egrep -i "pipe|pulse"
*Run as user.

Ok, you can disable it again if desired…

I ran “zypper remove --clean-deps pipewire” a few days ago. Today’s update did not reinstall pipewire.

erlangen:~ #
Good evening everyone!
Although it doesn’t cause me any problems, I noticed that I have both systems active: - PipeWire
- Pulseaudio
And I had no idea that only one of them should be active.
Shouldn’t there be just one?
Yes, that is what I would expect…
systemctl --user list-unit-files | egrep -i "pipe|pulse"
ps -ax | egrep -i "pipe|pulse"
sorry for my late answer:
systemctl --user list-unit-files | egrep -i "pipe|pulse"
**pipe**wire-media-session.service enabled enabled
**pipe**wire.service enabled disabled
**pulse**audio-x11.service static -
**pulse**audio.service disabled disabled
**pipe**wire.socket enabled enabled
**pulse**audio.socket enabled enabled
didn’t change anything from yesterday settings
this way I’ll have to uninstall wayland
The following 14 packages are going to be REMOVED:
kwayland-integration libQt5WaylandCompositor5 libcamera-suse7 libfdk-aac2 libldac2 libopenaptx0 libqt5-qtwayland pipewire pipewire-media-session pipewire-modules pipewire-spa-plugins-0_2 pipewire-spa-tools pipewire-tools
plasma5-session-wayland
and I want to avoid breaking more things if possible.Need a clean and easy solution to have the sound back if possible:)
Disable unit pipewire.service. This results in: Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.39 running: no:
karl@erlangen:~> systemctl --user list-unit-files pipewire*

pipewire-media-session.service **enabled enabled **

Sound is great on host erlangen.
To leave only pulseaudio active, all that is required is to disable the pipewire units…
systemctl --user disable --now pipewire.{socket,service}
systemctl --user disable --now pipewire-media-session.service
then restart the desktop (or reboot).
so, shall i “zypper remove --clean-deps pipewire” and remove wayland too?
did all these and got
systemctl --user list-unit-files | egrep -i "pipe|pulse"
**pipe**wire-media-session.service enabled enabled
**pipe**wire.service disabled disabled
**pulse**audio-x11.service static -
**pulse**audio.service disabled disabled
**pipe**wire.socket enabled enabled
**pulse**audio.socket enabled enabled
still got no sound.Next step please?

2nd reboot and pipewire not running, but still no sound
final step(?) please
Try the following…
sudo systemctl disable --global pipewire.socket
sudo systemctl disable --global pipewire-media-session.service
Confirm the relevant units are now disabled, and restart.
Make sure pulseaudio is active
sudo setup-pulseaudio --status
Enable if necessary
sudo setup-pulseaudio --enable
did all these and:
sudo setup-pulseaudio --status
[sudo] password for root:
enabled
but also

**pipe**wire.service disabled disabled
**pulse**audio-x11.service static -
**pulse**audio.service disabled disabled
