    Open Pavucontrol and check which output is selected. Is that the output
    you want?

    How is your monitor connected?
    HDMI and DP provide audio and most monitors will only play that when
    the picture comes from DP/HDMI and ignore the analog audio jack.

    Hello,

    I lose audio after rebooting my computer. It comes back if I remove my speaker cable from the jack ( in the computer, not the monitor ) and
    reinsert it.

    This happened for some years on my mini server machine. One day it
    stopped happening.

    I suspected a "feature" of the desktop and it's audio mixer. Pulse involved.

    Audio is via display HDMI connector. I had to connect and disconnect the headphone to get it working.

    Using openSUSE Leap 15.4 and 15.5; XFCE desktop.

    Post the output of the following commands:


    # list available and default audio output (pseudo)devices
    LANG=C pactl list short sources 2>&1 | grep output
    echo
    LANG=C pactl info | grep -e '^Default Sink'| sed 's@\(.\{60\}\).*@\1@'
    # Is the default output device the one you think it is?

    # check the volume of the default audio output device; is it muted?
    env LANG=C pactl list sinks | awk '/^Sink/||/Volume:/'




    Depending on what the output of the above commands is you may need to (re)define the default audio output device and/or change its volume setting.

    # select default audio device
    env LANG=C pactl list short sinks 2>&1 | grep output | sed 's@\(.\{60\}\).*@\1@'
    read -p "Select default output device: " # enter the index number
    [ ! -z "$REPLY" ] && pacmd set-default-sink "$REPLY"

    # change volume setting
    PA_sink='<some (pseudo)device from the list above>' # full name, not just the index number
    env LANG=C pactl set-sink-volume $PA_sink 70%



    If the problem is gone, insert the appropriate commands in some
    user/terminal session startup file.

    3. Went to my home directory and then went to the hidden

    for pulse:
    4. mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/old_pulse

    This is probably what fixed it.

    Out of curiosity, have you tried comparing the new config with the old
    one, to see what’s different?

    Are you brave enough to swap them around, and see if the problem comes
    back? ;)
