Issue:
Audio configuration settings do not persist after a reboot or shutdown. This can be frustrating for users who have specific audio preferences and rely on consistent settings for their daily tasks.
--

Steps to Reproduce:

  -  Install openSUSE Tumbleweed-Slowroll.
  -  Configure audio settings to your preference (e.g., adjusting volume levels, selecting output devices).
   - Reboot or shut down the system.
    After restarting, check audio settings to see if they have reverted to default.
----

Additional Notes:
This issue can be particularly inconvenient, especially for users who rely on specific audio setups for tasks like video editing, music production, or even just enjoying their favorite playlists. It disrupts workflow and adds an unnecessary layer of complexity to a generally seamless experience with openSUSE.

If anyone has any workarounds or additional insights, it would be great to hear them! Let’s work together to find a resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Thank you for the bug report!

Please note that Plasma 6.2.5 will not be supported for much longer by KDE; supported versions are 5.27., and 6.3 or newer.

Please upgrade to the latest version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

Does the issue happen when you restart plasmashell with `plasmashell --replace` in a terminal window? If not, then I'm afraid this bug is somewhere deeper in the audio subsystem, nit in our code.
