Thank you for your patience. I think I can see what is happening, but I don't know why it is happening and I cannot reproduce it on my system.
Please can you try this.
Boot the system.
Ensure your speakers are connected, powered up and volume set to normal level.
Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T
In the terminal enter these commands followed by return.
Copy the terminal output as before and paste it back to the thread.
If the two 'pactl list sinks' commands show a change, then without trying your usual workaround, check to see if the system audio works.
