Alright, solved. And I have no clue why. I was reading various forms, including arch's, and came across adding my username to the audio group. I checked the group file, and saw I was already in the group, of course I was, until yesterday I had 100 days of music. But on a lark I readded myself. I now have sound.
Anyone got a clue? I leave the room for 5 minutes and can't play sound until I readd myself to the audio group? How weird is that. Anyway, thanks for listening and for the help I got.
