what's wrong? no audio from files but perfect sound from chrome and firefox!

in flag

I searched everywhere on the web but i cannot seem to find a solution to my problem.

I have a Ubuntu desktop 20.04 that was working fine until last update (3 days ago).

The issue is that any audio file that I play from the desktop does not produce sound, however, if I play a youtube video (google chrome or firefox) or a podcast from the browser the audio works fine.

I tried with headphones and speaker, audio jack and s/pdif, same results.

If I type pacmd list-cards, I get this result:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
