I lost sound on a Lenovo Thinkpad P15 Gen 2 with Leap 15.4 after an update a month ago. I finally found my particular solution: hwinfo -- sound told me I had two sound cards: Model: "Intel Tiger Lake-H HD Audio Controller" and Model: "nVidia Audio device" needing kernel modules: snd_hda_intel and snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl It seems the update a month ago had dropped these kernel modules. I have now used yast2 software management to search for the kernel that provides these. It was kernel 5.14.21-150400.24.28-default I have added that kernel back to /boot/, rebooted and sound is back. uname -a says I am using 5.14.21-150400.24.41-default Even though /boot/ shows, dated today: initrd-> initrd-5.14.21-150400.24.28-default and vmlinuz-> vmlinuz-5.14.21-150400.24.28-default grub2 has today's date on it as well. Carlos' solution below to remove and re-add sound did not work for me. Hope this helps others with this problem. On 1/27/23 20:13, Carlos E. R. wrote:

I've known Ubuntu and RHEL admins who switched to openSUSE only because of Yast. Myself included. and you really both expect YaST soon to disappear? No, of course not. I was just substantiating Carlos' statement. But its contraction, however small, is cause for concern. I believe it was announced that yast-sound was being dropped but no other. of course, we have to allow for chicken-little and the sky falling.
Skys have been falling with increasing frequency these daze.
This is within the context of the announcement of NIS being dropped. That and the upcoming ALP change has many people feeling a bit nervous, I'm sure. Forward thinking is nice, but not at the expense of legacy users.
BTW, I just had audio go away on a 15.4 desktop just a couple of days ago where it was working before. I didn't take the time to troubleshoot it then, but I'm not looking forward to it. I'll try yast2 next week, I guess.
Try:
yast sound remove && yast2 sound add
in a terminal as root. Just curious. ;-)
