Hi there, Kodi apparently has issues on Leap when both, PulseAudio and Pipewire, are installed. The reason is that Leap does not install pipewire-pulseaudio, leaving Kodi assuming it should use Pipewire as its audio backend - unfortunately, this does not produce any sound at all :-(
We have therefore extended the /usr/bin/kodi script to detect, if the installation is kind of broken: # Work around a possibly broken installation of pipewire on openSUSE Leap # see 'https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1222636' if [ -x ${prefix}/bin/pulseaudio ] && [ -x ${prefix}/bin/pipewire ] && [ ! -x ${prefix}/bin/pipewire-pulse ]; then ENV_ARGS="--audio-backend=pulseaudio" fi This means that a default installation of Leap 15.5 or 15.6 will cause kodi to add "--audio-backend=pulseaudio" by itself. Please note, you can still override this by adding your own preference by adding one of the following yourself: --audio-backend=<backend> Select which audio backend to use. Available audio backends are: alsa, pipewire, pulseaudio, alsa+pulseaudio This will take priority over an implicitly added option for pulseaudio. Thanks to Sagi for reviewing this change! HTH, cheers. l8er manfred
