PulseAudio doesn't recognize analog audio plug

One day pulseaudio just stopped recognizing my analog output jack, It only lists my hdmi audio out and nothing else.

I should also note that this problem is exclusive to pulseaudio. When I use regular alsa everything works.

How do I make PulseAudio recognize my headphones again?

Re: PulseAudio doesn't recognize analog audio plug

Try changing the card profile in pavucontrol -> Configuration (or use a combination of

pacmd list-cards

and

pacmd set-card-profile

to find the correct profile)

Re: PulseAudio doesn't recognize analog audio plug

Well that is the problem, When I use pulseaudio (I just reinstalled it) It ignores the analog audio port completely and doesn't list it anywhere.
Not in pacmd list-cards:

1 card(s) available.
    index: 0
	name: <alsa_card.pci-0000_01_00.1>
	driver: <module-alsa-card.c>
	owner module: 6
	properties:
		alsa.card = "1"
		alsa.card_name = "HD-Audio Generic"
		alsa.long_card_name = "HD-Audio Generic at 0xfbbbc000 irq 48"
		alsa.driver_name = "snd_hda_intel"
		device.bus_path = "pci-0000:01:00.1"
		sysfs.path = "/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:01:00.1/sound/card1"
		device.bus = "pci"
		device.vendor.id = "1002"
		device.vendor.name = "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]"
		device.product.id = "aa50"
		device.product.name = "Cypress HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5800 Series]"
		device.string = "1"
		device.description = "Cypress HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5800 Series]"
		module-udev-detect.discovered = "1"
		device.icon_name = "audio-card-pci"
	profiles:
		output:hdmi-stereo: Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output (priority 5400, available: unknown)
		off: Off (priority 0, available: unknown)
	active profile: <output:hdmi-stereo>
	sinks:
		alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo/#2: Cypress HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5800 Series] Digital Stereo (HDMI)
	sources:
		alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo.monitor/#2: Monitor of Cypress HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5800 Series] Digital Stereo (HDMI)
	ports:
		hdmi-output-0: HDMI / DisplayPort (priority 5900, latency offset 0 usec, available: no)
			properties:
				device.icon_name = "video-display"

and not in pavucontrol.
It's definitely not a hardware issue, The card is recognized and functioning when using alsa.
