[opensuse-factory] Re: 20200209 & 20200211
I applied 20200209 and lost my sound so as soon as I could I applied 20200211 this a.m. Unfortunately, still no sound. When I go into sound configuration in YaST it sees my hardware but when I select one and hit the edit button I get a message there are no options for that card. I have 2 cards -- one on the motherboard and one on my HDMI card. Neither of them has any options available. In the KDE configuration I can see both cards. KDE shows several options for the motherboard card which works if I plug speakers directly into the motherboard. But.... I have a KVM switch to share keyboard, monitor, mouse and sound between two desktops. The KVM is HDMI based and carries the sound on the integrated cable. The video, mouse and keyboard all work flawlessly but there is no sound. Does anybody have an idea what I can do to get sound back?

Please be specific about your hardware, otherwise no one can help. If you're dealing with HDMI audio with Nvidia binary driver, there was a known regression regarding HDMI hotplug notification on 5.5 kernel, and it got already fixed in the later 5.5.y kernel. You can try the kernel package from OBS Kernel:stable repo. Another known problem is HD-audio on recent Intel platforms with DSP and DMIC support. For those, the new SOF driver is used as default starting from 5.5 kernel, and it requires the own firmware and the new UCM support in ALSA and PulseAudio. The SOF firmware is found in sof-firmware package, while the new UCM support is still not fully included in TW packages. Those updates are found in OBS home:tiwai:branches:multimedia:libs repo, waiting for some test results. Also, don't touch the sound configuration via YaST sound module unless you really know what you're doing. It's mostly for the old static configured devices like ISA non-PnP, and for modern devices and with PulseAudio, better to leave your fingers away. (It's something like you'd fiddle with X configuration in the past -- which is no longer needed in almost all cases.) thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

You didn't mention whether the HDMI audio is enabled in the KDE settings. Maybe it used to be enabled by default, and now it's not? I'm using gnome so i can't be specific IRT KDE settings. I would check the system log via "journalctl -b -0" and look into anything suspicious. https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.ref... You can also investigate your HDMI card and what it uses to work. kernel modules, etc. and see if all of that is working. If something failed, you can narrow the issue down. This ties in with the journal/log advice. Another troubleshooting step to always follow (if possible), is to temporarily reduce the complexity of your setup and verify where the failure starts/is (rule out the kvm switch, in this case). This applies to suspected software issues too, as it's wise to start with the simplest explanation or the easiest to check (like the first thing i mentioned above) I find hdmi audio to be a nuisance so i use the onboard audio. :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Those of us using HDMI for audio aren't supposed to be using YaST for audio configuration.
