> Sound still does not work after deleting that folder. Then the problem might be unrelated to pulseaudio. To confirm though, can you run
$ sudo apt remove pulseaudio reboot, and see if sound works (in vlc or something, not your browser). Then reinstall pulseaudio with $ sudo apt install pulseaudio If sound still does not work while pulseaudio is uninstalled, that will confirm that the problem is somewhere else. After you do that, let's temporarily rename your .config folder $ mv ~/.config ~/.config-backup and reboot again. See if sound works, and then restore your .config folder $ mv ~/.config-backup ~/.config If sound worked, that confirms that *something* in .config is the problem, and our next step will be to narrow down with file(s) it is.
