Once after i rebooted my laptop, my sound just stopped to work since then. I've already search a lot of solutions, the common solutions didn't suit my case.

• The auto-mute mode is disabled in alsamixer.


• The driver is currently loaded.


• There aren't any mute button selected in pavucontrol, and I've already tried to change between all profile available there.


• I've already removed the files of .config/pulse/ and started the service again.


• When any sound application is running as spotify or firefox, in pavucontrol the visualizer bar of the application reacts, bouncing up and down.

The only thing strange that I have noticed, it was the pulseaudio -vvvv --log-time=1 output raising pa_pid_file_create() failed. However the pulseaudio seems to be working fine.
