Sound not working unless starting Pulseaudio from the command line

On my system, audio settings show no available sound card. However, as soon as I start pulseaudio from the command line, everything works. Output from pulseaudio:

  1. Run 'alsamixer' in termianl and check if master sound is muted.

    oo is unmute and mm is for mute.

    terminal

    alsamixer

  2. This is just a guess, but maybe putting pulse audio in your startup applications might solve the issue.
