In your case, it's rather about the misunderstanding.
What this is about is undiscoverable or absent documentation. All that "mixed up" stuff is exemplifying the result of what packaging has mis- or not provided at all. I started trying to make the comment #0 PC work 13 days ago, and still haven't found any ostensibly official audio configuration documentation to resolve the failures on any of my own HDMI PCs. If upstream has satisfactory documentation, its location needs to be discoverable on opensuse.org or someplace a desktop user without internet access can find it. May I copy and paste [quote] - In general, PA is recommended for HDMI access on a desktop system -- if available - The auto-start of PA is disabled for root as default due to the system security matters - If non-PA access is required, the special PCM device (hdmi:xxx) must be used for accessing to HDMI or DP. The direct access with hw:xxx or plughw:xxx, and with default:xxx wouldn't work. - Also for non-PA access, the card indexing may require manual adjustment; it's nothing new, rather the system setup issue. - YaST sound module may help setting up the system configuration with the module options, but nothing more than that. It cannot know about the above things, and it's rather an obsoleted feature to be dropped in future. [/quote] into https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Audio_troubleshooting so that users at least have a diagnostic starting point to work from when HDMI out fails to produce sound?
- The auto-start of PA is disabled for root as default due to the system security matters
So it can be started manually? If so, how? What makes it auto start for a regular user?
- If non-PA access is required, the special PCM device (hdmi:xxx) must be used for accessing to HDMI or DP.
How does one create such a configuration?
