After a mostly successful (internet, graphics and even the printer …) distro upgrade from 12.3 to 13.1 (KDE) I have absolutely no sound on my machine. I have tried to search the interwebs and although it seems somewhat common problem I have not found a suitable solution.
If I start vlc for instance I get a message like:
vlc
VLC media player 2.1.5 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-49-gdab6cb5)
[0x1e4e918] pulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection failure: Connection refused
[0x1f92218] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[0x1cae0b8] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed
[0x1cae0b8] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
So it seems to have something to do with Pulse Audio but I have no clue on how to proceed. I have enables Pulse Audio Support on the Sound settings but that doesn’t seem to help.
With “Sound Settings” you mean YaST->Hardware->Sound, I suppose?
Have you logged out/in or rebooted after changing that? That’s needed for full effect.
