I have a problem with my mic that wasn't there before. I already tried a lot and got no results, so I want to try getting everything sound and mic related back to how it was during my first install.
Is there any kind of list that I could use to see which sound related packages I have, apart from alsa alsa-utils, etc and pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa, etc?
Also, any effective way of removing configuration files from all of them?
Edit: My problem was this one https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=201344
I have kde 5, using pulse audio, alsa and kmix. I also use pavucontrol.
I had wine installed back then, I don't know if it can have some kind of audio related package?
Edit2: I used the tools you gave me. But apparently this wasn't enough, or the problem has no relation with this, because it wasn't fixed. Now I am wondering if I should get another distro or stay with arch even if it has this problem. There are just too many things I use from the AUR that I might no be able to get if I change distro.

Not much info here as in we don't know what you installed. We also don't know what you did. Here is an approach you can adapt to figure it out yourself.
Alsa's global conf is /etc/asound.conf whereas the user conf is ~/.asoundrc.conf and alsa's other global variables are at /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
You can view the alsa archwiki here which provides the above locations.
And you can read the pulseaudio archwiki for its conf locations.
You should also read the pacman archwiki
In particular the 'n' flag but do read the note, hence why finding the user conf is important.
Edit: This sounds like an XY question

What problem?
What did you try?
You can use:
pacman -Qs pulse
pacman -Qs alsa
