[SOLVED] Pulseaudio only showing "dummy output" device.

I just did a 14.2 update (with slackpkg) and after the update, audio quit working. I checked the mixer and only "dummy output" and "dummy input" devices were there.

I logged in as root and ran pavucontrol and it had the normal audio devices...

After some investigating, apparently the update removed my user from all groups except "users". I added my user back to:

Code:usermod -a -G lp,wheel,floppy,dialout,audio,video,cdrom,plugdev,power,netdev,scanner userand pulseaudio was fine after that.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=jynp9ocGD9I:2pMRbr2De74:F7zBnMy latest?i=jynp9ocGD9I:2pMRbr2De74:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=jynp9ocGD9I:2pMRbr2De74:gIN9vFwjynp9ocGD9I
