Pulseaudio only works if computer booted in recovery mode

[Evan Meyers]

Pulseaudio does not work if booted normally; no soundcards are detected. It cannot be killed or restarted.

If booted in recovery mode, it works as it should.

Updates this morning fixed this. Now it would be great to be able to use my internal speakers and microphone. Hopefully, that fix is next.
