Description Holger Hetterich 2024-07-18 05:51:48 UTC

I run Tumbleweed with two users, and sometimes I switch the graphically user interface (gnome here) from one user to the other. When I switch, sound is gone. The sound devices are still there, and there is even a sound level output, no error reported in the logs, but no sound is actually played. To workaround this, I have to run "alsactl restore" in a root session after switching the user, then sound is back again. When I switch back to the other user, same thing happens again. This behaviour differs from tumbleweed a few weeks ago, where sound just works for the current user that has control of the GUI.

Please tell me which logs I shall provide in case something is needed.

Is this a regression?  i.e. the behavior was different in the earlier releases?


I believe wireplumber can save/restore the session at switching users.  Adding Antonio to Cc.
