[kde3] all sound in 15.4 dead since yesterday's updates

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.
Install kamix and pull fresh updates and report back. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
Hi all. Did not see any issues with sound on 15.5. Also I did not have to use Jack as audio source. Greetings Lioh Am Sun, 9 Jul 2023 02:04:45 -0500, David C. Rankin schrieb:

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.

We will think on it while you are sleeping. I know pulse defines sources and sinks for sound routing (marked in memory as "sources and sinks" is an old aerodynamic analogy for describing airflow patterns...) I don't know how pipewire does it -- this is all what the new driver apps do for the kids windows setup for headset, speaker, built-in speaker output selection. Not clear if a pre-pipewire/pre-pulse mixer can do that. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Risked an update and pulled in all updated through Now. kde3-libs and kde3-args (and even kde3-windeco-crystal) and others were updated. I was worried about crystal -- I would be very disappointed if that got messed up -- but... All good and sound is still doing what is was supposed to do.

Whether it matters or not varies. It shouldn't, as what the superuser cannot do shouldn't be expected that any other user can do. It seems pipewire is the absolute no-can-do for root sound, as alsa and pulseaudio seem to be OK with it, but it may be there's a path through the sound component maze enabling pipewire that I simply haven't stumbled onto yet. That said, in testing and setting up I keep multiple Konsole tabs open for the different purposes that may or may not require su permission. I don't like using su, su - or sudo. It's not clear to me how systemctl syntax with --global and --user is supposed to actually work, so typically I run enable/disable using both parameters as root, and for status at a root prompt. I've tried several times over the months to learn a way to override ConditionUser=!root, but so far I haven't found an instruction I've been able to make work. It's hard to decipher what's actually in control when asking for something from speakers. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

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.

I finally installed pipewire on 15.4 and was quite impressed with it. Instantly all the apps that needed it (mozilla apps, etc..) found it, and wpctl was quite a handy app compared with pactl. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
