No audio following update to leap 16

After update to leap 16, no audio in either youtube or vlc. I had alsa, pipewire, wireplumber, bluez installed in 15.6 for wireless headphones.

Pavucontrol shows no outputs at all.
Pavucontrol shows nothing in configuration
Yast sound has my sound card configured as card 0
Bluetooth (bluez) doesn’t connect and says "connection failed: no audio endpoints registered

I did zypper dup update (not fresh install) to leap 16.0.
I had finally gotten past my audio issuses on leap 15.6 and audio seemed solid.

need an audiologist’s insights, tom kosvic

I saw a bunch more issues so I reverted back to leap 15.6 from a “timeshift” snapshot.

Table this thread or mark it solved.

Additionally, audio started up in youtube and vlc including bluetooth after reverting back to leap 15.6

That’s no solution at all…oh well it’s your system.

I’m assuming you’ve already installed pipewire and wireplumper.
So you’ve already switched from pulseaudio to wireplumber according to the wiki.
Try the following, which helped me. It sounds strange, but it helped.

Download all RPMs from Pipewire and Wireplumber.
Look at all the directories and files in the RPMs. Delete them manually from the system.
Then reinstall them. Zypper in --force
Then restart once.
And?

@deano_ferrari, yes I didn’t solve anything.

After update using “zypper_dup” I found 3 issues right off the bat .

no audio at all. No sound even from yast_sound test
qemu vm would not boot, loading a vm killed qemu connection
system would not boot graphically using current kernel in grub . Did boot graphically from older kernel version.

Didn’t know what else I might find. I had things I was working on so I reverted back to 15.6

Will wait another month and try again.

thanks for support, tom kosvic

I’m repeating myself.
I had the same problems. And I’ve given my solutions above.
I don’t understand why you didn’t go into that.
But you must know…

Waiting won’t help. Bugreports may help. Just saying.

I just solved same

Solution:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2175893#p2175893

I deleted ~/.config/wireplumber
then restarted
systemctl --user restart wireplumber
and then status
systemctl --user status wireplumber
shows it is working - sound appears in Gnome also
fixed
