There have been pulse audio updates since I reported this, and after
today's updates (and deleting ~/.config/pulse), the two computers that
had the problems now correctly output sound from the speakers.

Title:
  Sound has stopped working after today's update

Status in pavucontrol package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had an alert to do an update today from the software-updater so I
  went ahead as usual and did the update.

  As a result I now find that I get now sound out of my speakers. This
  is true on this machine and on another machine that has the same
  Ubuntu version (but slightly different hardware & different speakers).

  In the pavucontrol when music or video is playing I have checked that
  nothing is muted. And I used alsamixer to turn off any muting there.
  And in fact there is only one sound output device (my speakers) and
  the sound is being shown since the indicator that shows decibels shows
  continual movement.

  So actually, I don't think this is a bug in pavucontrol but in the
  sound system generally, but the bug report tool only lets you specify
  an actual package.
