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.
I guess that option will be gone soon ....
Examples:
SuSE 9.3, from 2005 ... almost twenty years old. Seriously?
Yes, seriously.
You misunderstand - I meant "seriously, you are presenting a 17 year old example of why something remains a problem today".
The search is simply to prove that it is a known method to cure sound problems in *SUSE.
I'm sorry, but two ancient exceptions really prove very little. IMHO.
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.
Good stuff.
So, if it were not for yast trick, I would have been 8 months without sound. Very nice, yes. Soon yast will cease to exist, and there will be no more reason to choose openSUSE. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
