On a physical machine upgraded from Mageia 5 to Cauldron here, after logging into Plasma, pulseaudio is running and sound works fine.

There was no action in this report since August last year, assuming this got fixed for Ben, too.

Closing.

@ Ben

Please reopen if this bug is still valid for you with current 6RC
