Ok so I have no idea why I have no sound anymore, I didn't install anything...
Anyway, that's what I've tried:
-Check if mixer are all up in alsamixer
-Try to play a bit with pavucontrol
-Reboot
-Rerun pulseaudio with verbose
-Mute and unmute with physical button (I don't know why but I used to get this problem and it used to be solved just doing this)
-Googgling and searching this forum
Here are some more info

What applications use sound?
fuser -v /dev/snd/*Does playing sound through alsa using speaker-test with pulseaudio killed work?
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D plughw:0,0Do volume keys and mute affect sound levels in alsamixer? Could it be that skype or something else is occupying the sound card?

I doubt volumeicon is responsible, but make sure. Usually PA occupies default sound card, but you killed that. Try the same as root just after startup. If you still cannot determine what it is, kill one application after another and always check. If still unsuccessful check hardware signal connections from and to sound card as well as it connection to mainboard. Read this about audio group.

Thanks for the reply emeres. I don't know what solved it but it's working now... Though it still kinda strange sometimes I have to hit the physical mute key then sound up and the sounds is back. I'm going to investigate this further later
