Audio missing completely

My pulseaudio isn't working at all. After I booted up my system today it was showing "no input or output devices". So I reinstalled pulseaudio but now its completely gone. There's no audio sign at the top. I have installed all the necessary utilities and restarted several times but its just not working. Please help me out.

Re: Audio missing completely

Welcome to the boards, please read https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855 on why "doesn't work" is not a good problem description, if you don't know any diagnostic commands you can surely give some more outline, like did you run a system upgrade before the problematic boot and which packages were involved or did you install new software that might lead to this behaviour or...

That said, post in  tags

sudo dmesg | grep -E 'snd|sof'
uname -a
pacman -Q linux
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
aplay -lL #Needs alsa-utils
systemctl --user status pulseaudio
