been playing around a bit and noticed:

When I login as root, gnome, all the system sounds seem to be working.

When I log in as a regelur user, the system sounds do't. So I guess it must be a permissions issue somewhere that happened during/after the last update?

I didn’t know it was even possible to use GNOME as root. It certainly is a terrible idea.

It’s possible that the regular user not being able to use sounds might be an artifact of running GNOME as root, some permissions somewhere broken or a configuration file removed.

You need to take a look at the systemd journal to see what errors pulseaudio is getting when you log in as the user.
