Referring to tho posting of Josef Reidinger on the opensuse-factory list (Drop of yast2-sound; 25-01-2023), yast sound was the only way I had to get my bluetooth headphone working. Just touch the modules, and restart them, and the bluetooth device appeared in the list of sound devices (it was always found as a bluetooth device already). It was a little annoying, but since I reboot the machine only one in 2-3 weeks, it was not a big problem. So for me, it's a real pity yast-sound has gone. In the aforementioned discussion, pipewire was mentioned as a way to solve these things, at least, that was how understood it. So I looked for it in yast-software (hope that's not on the vanishing list 😁), to find a lot of pipewire was installed already. qpwgraph was not installed, so I installed it. But, is it that I am on pipewire now? pactl gives pactl info Server tekenreeks: /run/user/1000/pulse/native Bibliotheek protocolversie: 35 Server protocolversie: 35 Is Local: ja Cliënt-index: 37 Tegelgrootte: 65472 Gebruikersnaam: jogchum Hostnaam: linux-mkay Servernaam: pulseaudio Serverversie: 16.1 Standaard-bemonsteringsspecificatie: s16le 2ch 44100Hz Standaard-kanalenkaart: front-left,front-right Standaardafvoer: alsa_output.pci-0000_08_04.0.analog-stereo Standaardbron: alsa_input.pci-0000_08_04.0.analog-stereo Cookie: b708:1170 I started qpwgraph to find a nice looking bunch of loose hanging blocks, which you can relocate, without documentation of how to use it. Two of the blocks show my headphone, so that's progress I suppose. Looked for documentation of pipewire, to find a bunch of examples of programs I don't know what to do with. So how does a plain user enable a bluetooth headphone in this situation? Thins are getting rather complicated.... Any help appreciated! regards, Jogchum

Likely not.
pactl info
...
Servernaam: pulseaudio
On pipewire you should see something like this Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.64) And please, post in English on an English speaking mailing list.

pactl prints what server returns. It does know nor does it care whether this server is native pulseaudio, implemented by pipewire or anything else as long as this server talks PulseAudio on the wire.
