You guessed it correctly: talking about a laptop, I have to apologize for not having mentioned it before.
Having successfully performed "zypper install pavucontrol", I called "pavucontrol &", which opened a pop-up window containing the text "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait...". Then the system complained:
dbind-WARNING **: 16:02:59.169: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken
Any idea how to fix that?
If you go to YaST -> Hardware -> Sound, is anything showing in the list as 'not configured'? If so, try doing a quick configuration with default settings. gumb
