PulseAudio has been updated to v17.0 recently and might not be working with user settings from older
version. I suggest delete user settings databases and cookie file in home folder

rm ~/.config/pulse/*.tdb ~/.config/pulse/cookie

and restart PulseAudio to create new files

systemctl --user restart pulseaudio

If a user has modified PulseAudio system configuration files in /etc/pulse/ folder in the past,
the package manager may have created .pacnew files instead of updating configuration files
( e.g etc/pulse/default.pa.pacnew or etc/pulse/daemon.conf.pacnew )
To check if any .pacnew files have been created

ls /etc/pulse/ | grep pacnew

But response is most likely to show no .pacnew files to merge with configuration files

Hi, thanks for the help I ran those commands. (I restarted my computer and my audio was appearing, but not my Speakers audio)

I ran all those commands looks like pulse restarted ok (also restarted the computer)

ls /etc/pulse/ | grep pacnew it run with no error but showed nothing in the screen.

So there is still something wrong.

What does the following command report?

pactl list cards

or filtered a bit

pactl list cards | egrep -i "profile|output:"

Now my audio is working, but it’s random… those are the commands output:

But now my audio is working 2 times in a row that I restarted the computer and it’s working.
The only thing is hapening now, it is selecting HDMI as default (and it do not have sound), and to select my card I need to go to audio settings and change this “Play HiFi quality music” until find my speaker,

There is a way to fix to use the speaker as default?

Check available sinks and default sink

pactl list-sinks short; echo; pactl get-default-sink

If default sink is set to use HDMI output it should look like this:

alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic.digital-stereo

to change default-sink to use analog output:

pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic.analog-stereo

If that is not sufficient to get audio playing to speakers as default,
I suggest install pavucontrol-qt that can lock the card to a working Profile

Thanks for the help.
When I ran pactl list sinks short all sinks appearead as SUSPENDED even with my audio working fine now, is it a problem?

This should be the correct command to set speakers as default-sink:

pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic.HiFi__Speaker__sink

Audio sinks are usually suspended by module-suspend-on-idle when no audio is playing
The module can be disabled if audio is in use all of the time, but suspending idle audio devices saves power on laptops
