After latest update (stable KDE, 5.20.5) I've lost audio on my desktop, the Audio tab in System Setting says no audio device.

It seems that Plasma does not start anymore Pulseaudio, but I've no idea how to fix it, and it seems not possible to start by command line:

Code:
xxxxx@xxxx ~ % LANG="C" start-pulseaudio-x11 
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused


How to troubleshoot?

EDIT:
Solution: was due to a leftover config in the /etc/pulse/default.pa for when I tried to make the webcam microphone work
Commenting out those lines solved the problem. But pulseaudio error messages could be improved.
