Anyone else have this happen?
Strange, but not, all good here on 15.4 -- updated through 7/6/23 (now you have me worried about updating.....)

I don't have your line 37: Failure: Module initialization failed or lines 44-67: Could not find 'crashreporter' executable.

This is a zoo: alsa-info.txt: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/440c5775cce7 Any tell-tales in it?
It is a zoo. Only tale I see is possibly: PipeWire: Installed - Yes (/usr/bin/pipewire) Running - No Pulseaudio: Installed - Yes (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) Running - Yes aRts: Installed - Yes (/opt/kde3/bin/artsd) Running - No Pulseaudio is the only thing running and that's seems odd. (I'm no sound guru though). The rest of the file with the 19 spastic entries (e.g. Y,Y,Y,Y,......) looks to just be the settings for each of the 19 or 20 sound cards it tries to initialize on x-startup -- only 1 of which you have to work with. I don't see that stuff as harmful. I'd try to pull in the latest updates. I know through 2 days ago updates for me were fine on sound (I have minimal use for it, but do like a subtle sound scheme for window actions, e.g. maximize, minimize, shade, unshade, etc...)
Graphics connection is DVI, so only the rear pin jack connection is used for output to standalone PC speakers.
