In ~/.config/pulse I have:

Which are empty when I log-in (in that case the config is: "sortie

If you want me
Not sure whether the following will help, but it might be worth a try:
If you have installed pavucontrol, maybe it:
------->
pavucontrol
<------
And while you do the following, play some sound file, to see what's
happening:
Please note that some "Profile" might be seen as active in the
"Configuration" tab and not be working because you switched off (e.g.)
the device (TV, Stereo) connected to it. Also have a
look at the "Playback" tab. Make sure (bottom page) to
show "All Streams". Does the volume meter change while you
play sound? If it changes, and you don't hear anything, try changing
the playback device with the clickable right-hand-side button (with
something like "Built-in <device>" on it) and change it to another
device, if possible. If you hear sound by now maybe try to switch off
the device that did not work while playing the audio (and after logging
in? .. )
Also, maybe see these:
---->
gnome-control-center --> Sound
<----
--->
paprefs
<----
Also try reloading your X after changes, if things don't work as
expected (might not work on wayland).
IIRC on gnome running on X11 reload works with <alt><F2>, then exec
"r".
But I'm not sure, I don't run gnome shell, just gnome apps ... :)
In awesome wm (hint, hint ... :) reload goes like <ctrl>-<Mod4>-r ...
HTH - Good luck!
