Pulseaudio not working after updating to 6.0 on Gnome 3.14

No sound at all after updating to 6.0.  I removed the ~/.config/pulse folder and still nothing.  Anyone else know why it would break on our Arch Gnome?

Ok well nevermind.  Pulseaudio isn't starting on boot. 

I did a

$pulseaudio --start 

and it works.  So I know it doesn't autostart after a reboot.

start-pulseaudio-x11 doesn't any more start PulseAudio explicitly, because explicit starting conflicts with using systemd to start the user instance. When systemd isn't used, the regular autospawning functionality will still make PulseAudio start. However, if the user has disabled autospawning in client.conf, then PulseAudio will not be started at all by start-pulseaudio-x11 (which may or may not be what the user wants).

But here it starts, so you may have disable autospawn...

Thanks for the link and info gnumdk.  Much appreciated.

To autostart pulseaudio from systemd run:

systemctl --global enable pulseaudio.socket
