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.

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?
