·..and here's how the volume controls currently look in mobile settings. We get the list of controls from #wireplumber too and
#phosh's volume slider gets the highest priority volume so the top panel's volume slider does "the right thing" by default. (I've linked the related MRs from https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/meta-phosh/-/issues/20)
With the alarm clock waking the phone from suspend we still need to make sure the alarm sound is audible. We thus need it to have a volume level separate from e.g. media, notifications, calls, etc. This is possible with #wireplumber's "role based policy". There's a lot of lose ends to fix before this all can land but here's a quick demo in #phosh (the alarm sound your is played via #feedbackd which adds the necessary role):
Wireplumber is the session manager for @pipewire, helping to provide stability and flexibility to your Linux system. You can also do scripting with Lua!

Keith, after installing & enabling #WirePlumber [https://gist.github.com/the-spyke/2de98b22ff4f978ebf0650c90e82027e?permalink_comment_id=3976215]
and getting sound back, "pactl info" has this output:
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.79)
Server Version: 15.0.0
Default Sample Specification: float32le 2ch 48000Hz
Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right
Default Sink: alsa_output.pci-0000_2d_00.4.analog-stereo
Default Source: alsa_input.pci-0000_2d_00.4.analog-stereo
Thank YOU so much.

@Papa The answer was at this link, Papa.
Installing and enabling #WirePlumber as the #audio session manager instantly restored sound in #Ubuntu2204LTS. Thank YOU for your input!
PS: This may not work for everyone, but it DID work for me.

openSUSE Tumbleweed had updates for #pipewire #wireplumber #GNOME shell #KDE frameworks KDE #gear and much more. https://news.opensuse.org/2022/12/16/kde-gnome-audio-packages-up-in-tw/
#linuxtablet #linuxaudio One thing I learned is that pipewire’s concept of what a session is and does is different from JACK’s concept. #wireplumber, the current #pipewire session manager does not include the ability to save and restore audio applications (along with their jack connections. This is the whole point of #jack session management—to easily come back to a project later and not have to hook everything up again before starting to work on a project.
