I can test as either and still not get sound.

I don't have a sound group. I do have an audio group that lists me and 
pulse as members.

I don't have, and have never had, a .asoundrc file or directory. I have 
saved some older versions of my account and confirmed that the file 
never existed even when I had sound.
