Tumbleweed 20211223

Just noticed when trying to play a youtube video on firefox that I no longer have any sound. I see that pulseaudio is now pipewire but that does not mean much to me. It does seem that sound have failed very recently, last several days.

speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav fails

speaker-test -c8 -l5 -twav -D plug:surround71 provides "Front Left" and "Front Right" from my attached speakers

speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav -D hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1 provides "Front Left" and "Front Right" from my second display (TV).

the system tray audio speaker button displays a diagonal red line indicating mute but mute is not selected.

does this provide information which will help solve my provlem?

when trying to configure audio, there is no devices listed ???

alsa-info.sh output here: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~paka/public_html/alsa-info.txt

Error 404

tks,

Wireplumber is running ?

systemctl --user status wireplumber.service

you got it, I knew *nothing* about "wireplumber" ...

systemctl --user status wireplumber.service ○ wireplumber.service - Multimedia Service Session Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/wireplumber.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead)

started and again have sound. wonder why it didn't automagically start? or why it stopped? tks -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc What sort of day was it?

It is new and replaced the media session service. On one of my two TW istallations I had to start and activate it manually too. No idea why one out of two... Here you go:

so there is a packaging problem?

Would seem so. As reported elsewhere I had no sound in 15.3 after recent update. Installing pipewire-alsa fixed it - no need for pipewire-pulsaudio or pipwire-libjack-0.3 (neither of which are installed). And systemctl --user status wireplumber.service yields: "Unit wireplumber.service could not be found" yet sound still works. Curious. -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand

Wireplumber just barely replaced pipewire-media-session on Tumbleweed, I highly doubt that they've changed that for 15.3.

Thanks. I made an assumption I shouldn't have. For now, I'm just happy to have sound back by whatever means - the explanations can wait. -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand
