Hi there,
After a recent system update, pulseaudio, amongst some other things, has broken for me. My speakers and bluetooth no longer work, though a wired connection via the aux port works just fine.
It appears that, at least initially, pulseaudio no longer launches correctly. Running `pulseaudio --kill` initially returns an error about the daemon not currently running while `pulseaudio --start` hangs for quite some time.
Running `pacmd list-cards` returns
Daemon not responding.Running `pulseaudio -vvv` yields the following error log:
I: [pulseaudio] main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted

Similarly, `systemctl --user status pulseaudio.service` reflects that the service is technically running:

Jul 31 22:02:21 haunt systemd[519]: Starting Sound Service...Despite these facts, my speakers are still not seen by pulseaudio.
I am kind of stuck right now and don't know where to go. I would greatly appreciate some help with where to go with this.

Good news, everyone, I'm an idiot.
This post helped solve my problem.
The core issue is that apparently I misunderstood the advisory about js52 as mentioned here.
I manually deleted the file after successfully updating. That was apparently a very stupid decision on my part.
reinstalling js52 solved my problem.
It also solved other weird behaviors on my install, such as KDE not being able to suspend quickly and the menu UI freezing on some behaviors/menu selections.
Yeah. Anyway, this posting is solved.
