BTW, which DE are you testing at all? This was never clear, and
OP referred to kdbusaddons-tools-5.16.0-1.1.x86_64, K*5 and phonon-backend-* in TW context, which I thought made it clear enough I'm a KDE user.
without that information, it's impossible to advice or debug. I thought KDE on TW requires PA, but it seems like my wrong memory.
Including other machines with same problem, all DEs I use have apparently identical trouble: KDE3 (on gx28x TW) KDE4 (other hosts) KF5 (other hosts) TDE (on gx28x 13.1 & 13.2)
Look at the graphics setup. Few people fiddle with xorg.conf today. Most of graphics setups are done in a more dynamic way instead.
The similar trend is found for sound setup, too. You *shouldn't* change the system setup unless you know what you're doing. This is the way many DEs want / try to go. Instead, the sound setup is done in an upper level, typically in PulseAudio, then covered by more APIs on it like gstreamer, phonon, etc.
I don't see how "upper layers" can be expected to be successful regardless of choice of "upper layers" if YaST2 can't produce sound more than during initial configuration of the only sound device.
You misunderstand. If YaST could produce the sound initially, then it works in that level. The fact that the modified volume setup isn't restored means just that a wrong volume setup is restored instead. It's just a matter of volume setup (or in the case of PA, it might be routing or else), usually, and it has nothing to do with YaST directly.
Do you see the same problem when you reboot in runlevel 3 *right after* the initial YaST setup without any GUI? This excludes the influence on the setup by DE. If this works, OTOH, the remaining problem is in the upper layer.
In 13.1 in multi-user.target, setup sound in YaST works, and still works in YaST after rebooting back to multi-user.target.
