After installing Fedora 28 XFCE I had sound (everything worked). I run dnf update and after reboot I have lost sound.

PulseAudio plugin for panel says in tooltip "Not connected to the PulseAudio server".

After clicking it I see "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait...". Waiting doesn't do anything.

Some other panel plugin for sound control (simpler than previous) just says on tooltip "No valid device and/or element".

Running VLC gives "Audio output failed: The audio device "default" could not be used: Connection refused.".

Running

ps aux | grep pulse

returns.
