It seems to have fixed itself after trying some stuff I found online but I’m gonna post anyway because when I start my pc it doesn’t automatically have sound but after fiddling with videos and such it starts producing sound.

Ok now I have restarted my laptop and stopped working again, but then I noticed it works whenever I open pavucontrol GUI and it establishes connection with the audio control

Have a similar issue to this on a new install; audio is not working until the speaker is muted and then unmuted from audio volume pull down in top right corner; refreshing videos playing in windows then start working; sometimes start working right away such as in VLC; continue working until system is restarted.
