Hi all,
My sound on Ubuntu 16 was working fine, i installed pavucontrol and also the Pulse Audio Equalizer to get better sound output. A few days after installing, I have no sound at all. The volume says its on mute and when i go into sound settings, there is no output or input devices detected, not even the on-board devices. Nothing at all. I had this problem previously and had to reinstall Ubuntu in order to get my sound back. Now its happened again, and im really not looking forward to reinstalling. I am certain it has something to do with either pavucontrol or the equalizer i installed.
This is the output from `grep pulse /var/log/*`

It pretty much just repeats this over and over again. Let me know if you want all the output. I followed the solutions from this page 'http://askubuntu.com/questions/70560/why-am-i-getting-this-connection-to-pulseaudio-failed-error', but nothing helped and in some cases the file/folder does not exist.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I cannot work without sound
