In case anybody has an issue with Beta/Cauldron related to pulseaudio and sound which started with updates around Sat 4th March, resulting in log messages like

pulseaudio: Failed to create sink input: sink is suspended

The solution that I'm using is to remove "wireplumber" and install "pipewire-media-session" RPMs, and then sound works again.

See more on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=276308.

Also see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Pipewire

morgano's link to the wiki is the way to go. There's a link to a packaged script with a nice little GUI. You choose pulse or pipewire, then choose OK, and the script runs. Works perfectly.
