So, I have reinstalled pulseaudio and pipewire, and now I'm getting sound in VLC and Kaffeine, but not in Firefox. I suspect that merely using Kmix to control my sound levels is insufficient, and I need to use something else? Attached is a list of what I currently have installed for ALSA, pulseaudio and pipewire. What more do I need to install? Leslie On 2025-03-11 02:44:23 -pj wrote:

They won't help because pulseaudio isn't installed. (Neither is pipewire.)
Why not using it?
1) I am trying to simplify the diagnostic process. ALSA has always been sufficient for my needs in the past.
2) I have always had trouble getting PulseAudio to work, and fell back on ALSA, which works out of the box.
3) I have never gotten pipewire to work at all.
Can someone please help me figure out why I can get test sounds out of the YaST Sound module and from a few audio player apps, but not out of Firefox/YouTube?
