What's it take to get normal KDE users to have any sounds, and access to YaST2?
BTW, I discovered this by discovering SMplayer won't play audio from h.264 transport streams, and can't test if VLC has the same problem while logged in as root.
If SMPlayer and VLC don't have sound either, it's not a KDE problem, but a systemwide problem.
Eventually due a brief popup message "sound disabled" I figured out SMPlayer tries to use Pulseaudio whether it is installed or not. Selecting Alsa in its settings solved the problem for it. Meanwhile, I had installed a whole bunch of gstreamer* and deps, and VLC will no longer play even the video for the same files SMPlayer now plays OK.
Do you have sound if you log into icewm instead?
Two nights have passed since, but IIRC, using Icewm didn't change anything. I don't know if Icewm is capable of providing DE sounds like KDE does, which would indicate whether sound works for that login at all. I started a separate thread in opensuse-multimedia at the time which has yet to generate any response. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
