Many people have been doing that, uninstall-reinstall for years and years.
Can't say I'm one of them.
but you have heard of many people uninstall/reinstall as a solutin?
Not exactly, but maybe I'm not moving in the right circles :-)
Overall, I don't subscribe to such band-aid "solutions", especially not when it ought to be easy to diagnose the problem. (sound is hardly black magic any more).
It was never easy. I remember threads going on for a month or so not finding the solution - except tell yast to reinstall. We tried this summer with my machine, nothing worked. The only thing I did not try was to switch to the new pipewire. It was far easier to tell yast to reinstall.
Google it.
That presumes I am interested :-)
Examples:
SuSE 9.3, from 2005 ... almost twenty years old. Seriously?
Yes, seriously. It was a quick search. I have seen similar dozen of times over the years. The search is simply to prove that it is a known method to cure sound problems in *SUSE. Myself, this summer.
openSUSE 12.3 - 8 years old?
Instead of trawling through the archives of time, maybe post some config data and some dmesg output (related to your sound module).
I did that, this summer. No solution found, except to change to pipewire, way more time consuming. Now the machine has been updated to 15.4 and magically works again. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
