Description of problem: After installation there is no sound in KDE for any application. This can be easily solved by setting the Built-in Audio Analog stereo as the preferred Device in the KDE Phonon Audio and video control panel. By default after the installation Dummy output is the preferred device, which leads to the problem. Setting the correct device as preferred will avoid a lot of user frustration.

I saw a similar issue. The Phonon settings in my upgraded to Cauldron VM had two choices for audio output, I believe they were Default and Pulse. I have Pulseaudio disabled in this VM, so Default should have been the selection, but it was on Pulse. Because of this, Amarok would not play any sound until I changed the Phonon configuration. Previous Mageia versions have not had an issue like this. I wonder, does our mcc sound settings program that you can use to disable pulseaudio change Phonon settings? Maybe the place it needs to change it is different with Plasma 5.

is it still valid with plasma 5.8.6 ?
Yes, this is still valid.
Is this bug still valid?

Default installation from Netinstall ISO. x86_64 Plasma 5.20.1 Three potential outputs: - Line Out (Analog Stereo) jack from Integrated Audio on Motherboard, connected to speakers. - Digital Output/SPDIF from Integrated Audio on Motherboard, but not connected. - HDMI Output from NVIDIA Graphic Card connected to an Acer Screen. These are correctly detected as dmesg report: oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=3 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.1/sound/card1/input5 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=7 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.1/sound/card1/input6 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=8 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.1/sound/card1/input7 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=9 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.1/sound/card1/input8 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=10 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.1/sound/card1/input9 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=11 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.1/sound/card1/input10 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA Intel PCH Front Mic as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/sound/card0/input11 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA Intel PCH Rear Mic as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/sound/card0/input12 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA Intel PCH Line as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/sound/card0/input13 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA Intel PCH Line Out Front as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/sound/card0/input14 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA Intel PCH Line Out Surround as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/sound/card0/input15 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA Intel PCH Line Out CLFE as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/sound/card0/input16 oct. 29 09:49:20 mageia.local kernel: input: HDA Intel PCH Front Headphone as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/sound/card0/input17 Default sound output is set to Analog Audio Line Out, out-of-the-box, as it is detected to have speakers connected in it. Expected behaviour. Testing an other boot without speakers connected: Digital Output from motherboard is selected in Plasma as default sound output. Expected behaviour, while I will prefer it switches to HDMI/DP. But, Digital Output/SPDIF is set to be running in UEFI/BIOS and can't be detected to have an active connection. Connecting speakers via Line Out while system is running: Line Out selected. Expected behaviour. Closing this OLD.
