it doesn't seem to be required. My suspicion is that the yast config is _somehow_ getting in the way on your system. Starting with a clean slate might help with the diagnosis.
On other machines, I don't have to do anything, it works directly from installation. Not in this. Anyway, I do not know how to "start with a clean slate". Install openSUSE again? Not doable, machine is in production, several people use it. And I am too busy to do that, they would behead me for wasting time on the computer :-p
Just clean as far as the sound config goes. Simply get rid of the pulseaudio stuff configured by yast.
No idea what files YaST writes, what services it starts.
Consider that I used YaST when after installation sound was not working, many moons ago.
What I have done, is insert this code in one of my boot scripts:
/usr/bin/logger -t Mine -p daemon.info \ "Reseting sound system with yast." yast sound remove && yast2 sound add
And that solves the issue.
It all depends on what you want - a kludgy work around as the above or actually solve the problem ;-) Me, I don't like work arounds for what appears to be a pretty banal problem.
Well, as compared to starting VLC to see a movie, finding that sound does not work, and firing YaST to correct the problem, then restarting vlc, having it automated, and VLC playing instantly with no delay, is a huge advancement.
Ah, I forgot that there was a thread dedicated to that problem. Masaru Nomiya tried for several days to find the proper solution, but we did not find it. He suggested to switch to piperwire instead of pulse, but I don't like that, for Leap. So the only thing that we know that works in that machine is to tell YaST to remove and add/configure sound again, on every boot. And as I found a way to do that automatically by boot script without my intervention, I am a happy camper. I doubt you can easily find a way to remove whatever YaST did and have sound working on that machine (I'm now on my laptop). And I am too busy these days to get very involved with a computer problem (I have a worse problem with nouveau crashing the machine now and then). I just need the machine to work, and that hack works. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.3 (Legolas))
