As root I did: $ chmod 777 /home /home/wolfgang /home/wolfgang/.config /home/wolfgang/.config/pulse $ ls -ldG /home /home/wolfgang /home/wolfgang/.config /home/wolfgang/.config/pulse

Now, I tried again: $ pulseaudio
getting the same result as before: "E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Home directory not accessible: Permission denied"
Afterwards I reset the permissions of the directories mentioned above because leaving them open is dangerous. Anyway, it is now clear that the "Home directory" mentioned by the pulseaudio error message is none of them. It is a mystery... [...]
So try the suggestion I made earlier !!!
That's it.
Before doing so, please check ls -ldG /home/wolfgang/.config/pulse/*

Then they worked, and I fear I will have to downgrade my installation from Leap 15.3 to Leap 15.2 for making them work again.so
Doesn't exist this? -rw-r--r-- 1 root root ... ~/config/pulse/default.pa
No, it does not. I listed /root/.config/pulse, too, getting this results: -rw------- 1 root 24576 Jan 13 17:35 1d0b2d2b960f4b0ba4d4ced74c4cb6cb-card-database.tdb -rw------- 1 root 1 Jan 13 17:35 1d0b2d2b960f4b0ba4d4ced74c4cb6cb-default-sink -rw------- 1 root 1 Jan 13 17:35 1d0b2d2b960f4b0ba4d4ced74c4cb6cb-default-source -rw------- 1 root 8192 Jan 13 17:35 1d0b2d2b960f4b0ba4d4ced74c4cb6cb-device-volumes.tdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 23 Jan 13 15:49 1d0b2d2b960f4b0ba4d4ced74c4cb6cb-runtime -> /tmp/pulse-CcctT9RwKSB1 -rw------- 1 root 696 Jan 13 17:35 1d0b2d2b960f4b0ba4d4ced74c4cb6cb-stream-volumes.tdb -rw------- 1 root 24576 Jun 30 12:07 c088ad9ed9df4a62afb10e897491ba6b-card-database.tdb -rw------- 1 root 1 Jun 30 14:25 c088ad9ed9df4a62afb10e897491ba6b-default-sink -rw------- 1 root 1 Jun 30 14:25 c088ad9ed9df4a62afb10e897491ba6b-default-source -rw------- 1 root 8192 Jun 30 12:07 c088ad9ed9df4a62afb10e897491ba6b-device-volumes.tdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 23 Jun 28 10:43 c088ad9ed9df4a62afb10e897491ba6b-runtime -> /tmp/pulse-PKdhtXMmr18n -rw------- 1 root 696 Jun 29 17:06 c088ad9ed9df4a62afb10e897491ba6b-stream-volumes.tdb -rw------- 1 root 256 Jan 13 17:35 cookie Having installed Leap 15.3 in June only, I can't explain the January dated files. Anyway, the link target /tmp/pulse-CcctT9RwKSB1 does not exist. The link target /tmp/pulse-PKdhtXMmr18n is an empty directory. Best regards, Wolfgang
