Pulse audio failes to start after update

I have nvidia graphic card and I am using proprietary drivers (I want to use sound card from motherboard) and my pulse audio has stopped working. I have tried multiple version of kernel, and result is always the same. I am currently at

uname -a
Linux pc 6.6.65-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Dec 11 22:24:04 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux
pulseaudio -v
E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon due to errors while executing startup commands. Source of commands: /etc/pulse/default.pa

I have tried to set default sound card to integrated one, with no success.

this is section from /etc/pulse/default.pa

load-module module-alsa-sink
load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0
set-default-sink combined
aplay -l

It’s fixed with ALSA - Manjaro
