aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
This is my 24/7 15.4 system. produces nothing from speakers, as neither the video player build into Chromium, nor KDE3 system sounds.
Anyone else have this happen?

Graphics connection is DVI, so only the rear pin jack connection is used for output to standalone PC speakers.
Ultimately I solved this with a fresh installation of 15.5, with only one *puls* package: libpulse0. Everything tried so far works purely on pipewire/wireplumber, except that Firefox and SeaMonkey need to be started by apulse. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
