PulseAudio server connection failure: Connection refused

I get this error after installing new updates. This is the output of VLC:

VLC media player 2.1.6 Rincewind (revision 2.1.6-0-gea01d28)

I get similar errors from Gmusicbrowser as well. I tried the solution suggested here without avail. Reinstalled VLC, Alsa and Pulse Audio but again no help.
