Pulseaudio not working on GPD Pocket

I got a GPD Pocket last year and had everything working perfectly from a completely manual installation.

I had not used the device since last August, but the need to use it again came up.

I updated everything, including the BIOS and adding the GPD Pocket repo, and the pre-built kernel. I am posting from it now. I found and applied a post about an update  for a working mic, but still no luck.

At some point, Pulseaudio just stopped working. I've tried everything, including BIOS tweaks and using the fallback initrd. Nothing works.

I keep getting this error:

[~]$ pulseaudio
W: [pulseaudio] sink.c: Default and alternate sample rates are the same.
W: [pulseaudio] source.c: Default and alternate sample rates are the same.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Sink alsa_output.platform-cht-bsw-rt5645.HiFi__hw_chtrt5645_0__sink does not exist.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: No sink found by this name or index.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.

My search-fu has not helped. Can anyone help me end my frustration?

Re: Pulseaudio not working on GPD Pocket

Never mind. The GPD Pocket package said it detected my previous PA config tweaks, but it still added them again anyway. Removed the duplicate lines and I am back in business.

PAVUControl still pegs the CPU, so if anyone can help fix that, I'd appreciate it.
