last comment on [SOLVED] Regression in kernel 6.17.8, Intel sound card not recognized
saying
wanted to let others know that 6.19rc4 on HEAD also fixes it (on OST).
https://download.opensuse.org/repositor … rd/x86_64/
so… 6.18 kernel no sound? what a disaster
I tried reboot turn on/off sound in bios - nothing

can not get audio on either
driver: snd_hda_intel
driver: hid-generic,snd-usb-audio,usbhid
I booted to 6.14 kernel - but there audio also gone
Edit:
I can play audio to
aplay -L
sysdefault:CARD=DeviceEEPROM
USB PnP Audio Device(EEPROM), USB Audio
Default Audio Device
with
speaker-test -Dsysdefault:CARD=DeviceEEPROM
so this is not kernel bug

wpctl status
shows empty list of output
no audio devices in Gnome settings
pavucontrol also empty (fake output only)
… some config issue… but where…
systemctl --user status wireplumber
Failed to start Multimedia Service Session Manager.

Solution:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2175893#p2175893
According to the bug report it should be a literally empty file somewhere, check ~/.config/wireplumber and ~/.local/share/wireplumber for some local dirs that are sourced as well, potentially try to run wireplumber through strace to see which paths it’s accessing before dying.
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
