Attaching as requested. fyi i was rather busy yesterday and was able to overlook the fact that pavucontrol said "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..." all day because even so sound was working and the volume was tolerable. i didn't even shut the box off last night. i finally got around to launching the additional pulseaudio process this morning whereupon i observe that this manifestation differs from prior manifestations in that pavucontrol only then displayed the built-in audio with no mention of my arctis 7 headset which meanwhile was working! so i killed both pulseaudio processes owned by me (tho not the third one owned by sddm, i didn't login via sddm) and launched another. whereupon pulseaudio showed all the devices, but the youtube player was stuck as if it was paused but wasn't. so i killed my pulseaudio processes again, whereupon the youtube player proceeded as if it was no longer paused, but i could no longer hear the audio! so i paused the youtube player, this time killed All the pulseaudio processes, unpaused the youtube player, i could then hear audio again and another pulseaudio process had somehow spawned, but pavucontrol was still stuck saying "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..." so i launched another pulseaudio process which made pavucontrol happy again but the youtube player again stayed stuck as if paused again. so again i killed all pulseaudio processes, the youtube player plays, i can hear it, but pavucontrol says "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait...". so i killed pulseaudio again, and now i can hear the youtube but there's no pulseaudio process! after a tad longer of listening another pulseaudio process appeared, and again pavucontrol-qt is stuck saying "Establishing...". i launched pavucontrol (no -qt) at this point, they're both stuck saying "Establishing...". i then launched another pulseaudio process, whereupon both pavucontrols immediately showed the controls but the youtube player is stuck again. so i'll finally give up and reboot, after attaching the journalctl report, which should span from yesterday morning through this morning...
