I dunno what I did but I broke Pulse Audio!!

[kanazky]

jacob-Studio-Laptop:~$ pulseaudio
E: module.c: Failed to load  module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=hw:1,3"): initialization failed.
E: main.c: Module load failed.
E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.

And my sound manager isnt showing up!

However when I type:

jacob-Studio-Laptop:~$ pulseaudio
E: module.c: Failed to load  module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=hw:1,3"): initialization failed.
E: main.c: Module load failed.
E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.

Seems to work fine! How do I fix PulseAudio

Which distro are you using?

Try this

pulseaudio --kill
killall pulseaudio
killall -9 pulseaudio
rm -rf ~/.pulse*
rm -rf /tmp/pulse*
pulseaudio -D
