Hi,
I’m running KDE on Fedora 41, and I have noticed that ever since disabling the Login sound:
my speakers are muted when I boot my machine, as if playing that welcome sound was the only thing triggering the starting of some service or unmuting of the device.
I have confirmed this by re-enabling the Login sound, and now my speakers are unmuted at every boot (and I can hear the login sound as well, of course).
To me, this looks like a bug. If I don’t want to hear the Login sound, I should still be able to play any media I want without having to first unmute my speaker/output device at each and every boot.
That’s working for me. I wonder if perhaps you have an issue with the card being muted at startup, and KDE is unmuting to play the login sound. This might be more of a pipewire/alsa thing, than KDE.
Does the behaviour change if you use a different playback device? What is the audio device in question?
Thanks, eventually I couldn’t reproduce, I disabled the startup sound once more and this time the speakers were unmuted at boot.
The audio device was the default one on my laptop, “Family 17h/19h/1ah HD Audio Controller Analog Stereo”.
I’ve also moved back to tumbleweed since posting and I couldn’t reproduce this there, neither, so I think this thread can be closed.
