   Okay, a few things:   
      
   First just kill off everything in   
      
   /home/you/.config/pulse   
      
   Now run pulseaudio -k to restart it. Now everything should be baseline for   
   the next bits..   
      
   In pavucontrol, on the Output Devices tab, is your device show there? Is   
   the check mark to the right of it selected?   
      
   When you attempt to play audio with something like chrome, (or whatever   
   isn't working) .. in the Playback tab, does it show up and display   
   movement on the little VU meter? What if you force it with something like   
   "mpv --ao=pulse " ?   
      
   In the configuration tab, what is the Profile dropdown set to?   
      
   For the contents of asound.conf are they:   
      
   pcm.default pulse   
   ctl.default pulse   
      
   These are what route programs that would normally use ALSA over through   
   PulseAudio instead.   
      
   Nothing in /etc/pulse has been adjusted? PulseAudio is supposed to start   
   on it's own automatically without the rc.d script.. you haven't done chmod   
   +x /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseaudio right?   
      
   The next step after that would be to check the logs to see what pulseaudio   
   is doing.. there are some steps to set it to be fairly verbose so you can   
   watch what's going on:
