Pulseaudio not working / ALSA does

For some reason after following this exactly "https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … io_to_HDMI". I am now left with no volume control for pulseaudio in the taskbar & no options for audio output in multimedia settings after rebooting. Also alsamixer does work and can control volume levels in a terminal while I have cmus playing music.

blaze@Arch420 ~ % sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  gdm        3902 F.... pulseaudio
                     blaze     19688 F.... alsamixer
                     blaze     27048 F.... cmus

I assume its because gdm is not passing the control/permissions over to my only user "blaze"??? I'm not sure thought and i'm fairly new to Arch I need help please, i've tried

blaze@Arch420 ~ % pulseaudio --k
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process
blaze@Arch420 [1] ~ % pulseaudio --start                                                                ⏎
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.
blaze@Arch420 [1] ~ % sudo systemctl enable pulseaudio.service                                          ⏎
Failed to enable unit: File pulseaudio.service: No such file or directory
blaze@Arch420 [1] ~ % sudo systemctl start pulseaudio.service                                           ⏎
Failed to start pulseaudio.service: Unit pulseaudio.service not found.

Here is my "pulseaudio -vv" output https://hastebin.com/awefilisoq.coffeescript

And devices

blaze@Arch420 [1] ~ % arecord --list-devices                                                                                                                                                                       ⏎

Re: Pulseaudio not working / ALSA does

E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-ladspa-sink" (argument: "sink_name=ladspa_output.mbeq_1197.mbeq master=alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo plugin=mbeq_1197 label=mbeq control=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0"): initialization failed.

Somewhere (in /etc/pulse/default.pa or ~/.config/pulse/default.pa or ~/.pulse/default.pa) you are trying to load a ladspa plugin with an incorrect definition, try to remove that for now and check if it works without.

P.S.: pulseaudio runs as your user and it's systemd service file runs as an user session use

systemctl --user start|stop pulseaudio
