[SOLVED] No sound, FN Mute Key Locked (Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th gen)

Did not want to hijack my old thread, therefore I am creating a new one.

Referring to this post.

Basically, the issues reoccurs whenver I reboot. I then have to insert the sound jack, play a song or a video and unjam it. It then works for the entire session, unless I restart X, shutdown or reboot.

In my i3 config, there is this part:

# Use pactl to adjust volume in PulseAudio.
set $refresh_i3status killall -SIGUSR1 i3status
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +10% && $refresh_i3status
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -10% && $refresh_i3status
bindsym XF86AudioMute exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle && $refresh_i3status
bindsym XF86AudioMicMute exec --no-startup-id pactl set-source-mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ toggle && $refresh_i3status

Maybe it has something to do with the FN-Key? I am not quite getting it.

If there is any additional information you guys need, I am happy to provide it.
Cheers!

rm -rf .config/pulse

did the trick.
