Sound Not Working on PulseAudio

So I've just installed Arch on my system, but unfortunately, the sound isn't working.

This is what happens when I run "start-pulseaudio-x11":

Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

Trying to run "fuser -v /dev/snd/*" returns nothing

This is the output of alsa-info.sh:

Welcome to the boards ThePixelPolygon

How are you login in, starting your session? Post the files associated with that.  What's the output of

loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID

I'm using SDDM to login. The output of "loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID" is

Re: Sound Not Working on PulseAudio

That looks alright and pulse should be autostarted when logging into KDE this way... What are the outputs of

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/* #You did run that as root right? You will not get the information you want if you run it as a normal user
systemctl --user status pulseaudio
pulseaudio -vvv
