I have both a 500 GB SSD and a 60 GB SSD
Both have the exact same opensuse tumbleweed on them

I use the 60 GB SSD one for testing purposes, and im prepared to perform any/all tests for devs to help them resolve
the bug

Im also prepared to re-install an earlier .ISO image for opensuse tumbleweed to get a system when all things were working
(Im not sure about the last few hardware firmware upgrade though via OS package updates)
If this will also help facilitate the devs in tracking down what packages and/or firmware updates created this issue

Is this a virtual device? If you show hidden virtual devices by right-clicking on the Audio Volume icon, right-clicking on "Configure Audio Volume…", and check "Display virtual devices", does that make it appear again? If so, you're welcome to use that setting for the time being, and this is a duplicate of Bug 455283.
Comment 4 Ben 2022-06-16 13:52:55 UTC
While i have seen this configure button before many times, it is not showing at all in the bottom right-hand corner

Picture of plasma volume control - Built-in Pro Audio option shows

I have no idea what this 'Pro Audio' thing is
Is it a different/new re-design of something ?
Or could this be for a completely different hardware chip make/model to what i have ?
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2022-06-16 14:46:39 UTC
I said to right-click on the system tray icon. If the popup is open, you can also access the settings window from the middle button of that group of three buttons in the top-right.
Comment 7 Ben 2022-06-16 15:34:08 UTC
Yes like i said earlier it's not there
Tell me if you want a screen shot
Comment 8 Nate Graham 2022-06-16 15:35:27 UTC
Yes, please take a screenshot of the applet's settings window.

From your second screenshot, click on the menu item that says, "Configure Audio Volume..."

KDE Plasma - Audio Volume Settings - Show virtual devices Turned On

The virtual devices was OFF
I turned it on and pressed Apply
Comment 13 Nate Graham 2022-06-16 18:36:10 UTC
And when you changed that setting, did your missing devices appear in the system tray audio volume popup?
Comment 14 Ben 2022-06-16 19:02:04 UTC
No, it has changed nothing
Nothing new presents itself
I dont see the relevance of a virtual device with respect to my HDMI Stereo and HDMI 5.1 Surround
option missing from the profile under Built-in Audio
Comment 15 Nate Graham 2022-06-16 20:04:45 UTC
Ok, then I guess that wasn't the issue.

If the problem is a proflie missing in the dropdown menu, then that's a problem in code that's outside of KDE, in either PulseAudio or PipeWire. I would encourage you fil file a bug with them at either https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/ https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues, depending on which audio subsystem you're using.
Comment 16 Ben 2022-06-17 04:26:38 UTC
I have provided logs in the attachment for devs to review
I dont know if the problem is a strictly 'GUI' one, if thats what you mean
The evidence suggests thats its not a GUI one at all (other related bug reports suggest this as well)
I think the GUI is not showing the other profiles because the OS has not/cannot/will not detect my Mother boards HDMI Intel GPU Audio
