Like the title says, I have sound only out of the headphone jack, on a fresh installation of opensuse Tumbleweed. After a month of searching and trying different methods, I ask your help here…
I have this sound device that is shown on the Windows 10 Device Manager.
Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Please share the output from
pactl list cardspactl list sinksIt might also be useful to provide audio hardware details here…

Also when I give
head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec*
the return is:
==> /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 <==
Codec: Realtek ALC295==> /proc/asound/card0/codec#2 <==
Codec: Intel Kabylake HDMI
You’re not logged in as root are you?
Before I had not sound even from headphones.
Now after a reboot I have sound only from headphones.
And the command returns some data.

Please use the ‘Preformatted text’ (</>) button when you post commands and output to preserve it’s structure as presented in the terminal you copied it from.
Can you please try starting pipewire-pulse as it appears to be inactive.
Server-1: PipeWire v: 0.3.72 status: active with: 1: pipewire-pulse
status: off 2: wireplumber status: active 3: pipewire-alsa type: plugin
4: pw-jack type: plugin tools: pactl,pw-cat,pw-cli,wpctl
Do that by executing the following as regular user…
systemctl --user enable --now pipewire.{socket,service}You can try to use pavucontrol to set the desired profile (Configuration tab), and sink (Output Devices tab) as required.
Does sound come via the speakers after doing that?
After the command
systemctl --user enable --now pipewire.{socket,service}
as a regular user, there is no output message at konsole.
But now, if I give

Still no sound. But the bar of output sound is moving like there is sound.
… and just like that… I have sound from speakers also!!!
I did nothing more than wait, not even reboot after the last command…
I 'll test if I have sound after a reboot.
After a reboot, the sound stays.
Thank you very much. If you give me a hint on what happened to study a bit and learn, it would be great!
That is a good result. The following PipeWire guide may be of value:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Pipewire
Having pipewire-pulse active just means that PulseAudio support under PipeWire is possible for applications that require it, and this includes pavucontrol, which provides a convenient way to set the desired sources and sinks for given applications.
And after another reboot, again no sound. piperire-pulse status is active. I am trying to understand what are all them names and probably how they work in order to suspect the cause of the problem but is seems I am far away from this level. I am shamed to ask further help, so I don’t. I write this just to update the situation.
All good. No need to feel shame. Learning is part of the fun. Take some time to read our guides:

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Audio_troubleshooting
Do you have 3.5 speakers connected or via HDMI?
You might need to select a different output device/port
No connected speakers.
It is a HP laptop with build-in speakers, a jack for speakers and an HDMI where there is connected a monitor with another jack for speakers.
As output device I have the build-in speakers.
Does the HDMI screen have speakers?
If you switch to HDMI, dou get an output?
No the monitor has no speakers. Only a jack for headphones or external speakers.
If I put headphones to the monitor jack and turn the output to HDMI, there is sound to the headphones. Like if I put them in the laptop jack.
But no sound output from build-in sound device, even if the sound volume bar is moving on Audio Volume window, like there is sound signal sent.
And of course I do not have the build-in speakers muted.
