Tried to reboot,but not PulseAudio won't even spawn and I still have no sound so I did an urpmi --auto-update and a reboot, but the problem persists
I get the error message:
Connection to Pulse Audio failed. Automatic retry in 5s
In this case this is likely because PULSE_SERVER in the Environment/X11 Root Window Properties or default-server in client.conf is misconfigured
This situation can also arise when PulseAudio crashed and left stale details in the X11 Root Window
If this is the case, then PulseAudio should autospawn again, or if this is not configured you should run start-pulseaudio-x11 manually
Here is my /etc/pulse/client.conf:

running start-pulseaudio-x11 does nothing - just returns a command prompt.
