I believe openSUSE Tumbleweed is still using PulseAudio and has not switched to PipeWire yet. In PulseAudio, this does not happen automatically; you need to configure it that way in the Audio Volume page in System Settings. Whether to do this by default or not is a distro decision. With PipeWire, it happens automatically.
Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'pipewire' is already installed. No update candidate for 'pipewire-0.3.50-1.1.x86_64'. The highest available version is already installed. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. Still have the problem
Opensuse sabotaged it. How did they do it? How can I fix it?
Interesting. Anyway, all the output switching decisions take place in PipeWire, so I'm afraid there's nothing for KDE to do here. You might try opening a bug report on openSUSE's bug tracker.
Opensuse banned me from their forum forever because they refuse to fix it. I need your help. I have no where to turn to. Isn't there anything you can do?
What file was the one that caused my problem in older versions?
This is a bug tracker, not a user support hotline. The bug isn't in KDE software, so it has to be tracked elsewhere. I'm afraid there is nothing more I can do to help here. If you can't get help on the openSUSE forum, there is always their own bug tracker (for reporting bugs), or you could report it directly to the PipeWire devs, or you could try to get help on the r/opensuse subreddit.
