I am running pulseaudio 14.0 on an intel nuc with manjaro 20.2.1. Soundoutput works over hdmi.pulseaudio -k or systemctl --user restart pulseaudio.
Open a browser
Play music in browser (i.e. YouTube), there is no sound
systemctl --user restart pulseaudio
Wait 5-10 seconds
refresh browser
Browser plays now music
and after that also any other app/program/whatever plays music again. Simply restarting pulseaudio without playing music in a browser is not working.
I also did stuff like this:
add @reboot systemctl --user restart pulseaudio as a crontab → pulseaudio is restarting while booting up, but still no sound
add systemctl --user restart pulseaudio as autostart program → pulseaudio is restarting while booting up, but still no sound
write small script which is explained here (wow i cant add links here. Uhm. Just google “manjaro pulseadio no sound /usr/local/bin/pulserestart” first link) → pulseaudio is restarting while booting up, but still no sound (even if i run /usr/local/bin/PulseRestart by myself without autostart and increasing sleep timer)
I don’t know what else I can do.
share output of inxi -A
remove any personal scripts that you are using as they are unnecessary and will make troubleshooting the issue difficult.
check if pulseaudio is running:
systemctl status pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket
if not active then enable the service and reboot:
systemctl enable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket
[user@nuc ~]$ inxi -A

(if enabling pulseaudio.service and pulseaudio.socket was an attempt to get it working: problem is still the same)
OS appears to be very out of date. Kernel v5.9 has not been supported on Manjaro for a long time and PulseAudio v14.1 was released in January 2021
Updating system and installing a later kernel on a system this old date would be tricky and likely to fail
I suggest you reinstall using the latest ISO – Manjaro 21.2.0 Qonos released!

Oops, didn’t saw that before. I did that, still the same issue (both were active before anyway).
Ok, so i reinstalled these packages:
sudo pamac install pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-ctl pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp pulseaudio-zeroconf pulseaudio-equalizer-ladspa
pulseaudio --version shows me, that pulseaudio runs now as version 15.0
And surprise, everything works now as intended! Only my ssh key is refused by the server, uhm…

You really need to update either way, but it is advisable to do so before installing packages …
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu
