   (I have posted most of this in a similar form to comp.os.linux.hardware)   
      
   My PC has been active since 2018, whatever OpenSUSE Leap level was   
   current then was installed, all of the versions since then were loaded   
   in turn.  I had to reinstall Leap 15.3 from scratch once but that was   
   for a totally different reason.  Audio has never been a problem, now it is.   
      
   Audio no longer works after a boot.  The workaround is to insert the   
   headphone plug and to remove it again *while content is being played*.   
   Pulling and reinserting the loudspeaker plug into the line-out socket   
   works in exactly the same way.   
      
   According to my Asus A320M-K MoBo description, I have a "Realtek   
   ALC 887-VD2 High Definition Audio CODEC" on board.  The sound module is   
   snd_hda_intel.   
   When I start playing content, the correct modules are duly loaded.  No   
   additional modules are loaded once I have applied the workaround.   
      
   There are various pulseaudio messages in the system logs but I don't   
   know which of those can be considered normal and which indicate a problem.   
   Noticeable in the log of a 15.3 startup was a "Stopping User Manager for   
   UID 465..." (appears to be user "sddm", the SDDM daemon).  This did not   
   appear in the 15.4 log.   
      
   Something which did appear in the 15.4 log but not in the earlier one was:   
   dbus-daemon[839]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed   
   out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)   
   kded5[9493]: kf.bluezqt: PendingCall Error: "Failed to activate service   
   'org.bluez': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)"   
   pulseaudio[10257]: GetManagedObjects() failed:   
   org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible   
   causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message   
   bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the   
   network connection was broken.   
   PackageKit: daemon quit   
      
   Does anyone have a clue what is going on here, or how to debug this s***?
