I managed to find a workaround thanks to Dell tech support. This worked for me, though be careful, as it does involve removing a package without removing dependencies. Here's what we did:

sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends pulseaudio
sudo apt install pulseaudio

I haven't had the issue since even after a few reboots! It used to be very easy to reproduce previously.
