Hi all, I want to report this issue but i don't know so much i'm just a single user.
When the pc turns on and onto desktop the speaker icon appeared as muted so I click the middle mouse button or Fn key + F3 this toggle the speakers on/off the later method is more likely to fail. (I have to hit several times to get work and no the key works fine)
Strangely when I've listening something whether locally or from Chromium (live radio stations) sound crash and goes off.
I cannot replicate now to see the warnings of Audacious.
When open the mixer tab I see PulseAudio stablishing connection like a process running indefinitely.
Lately if I reboot X server this resolve the issue.

Try shutting off pulseaudio volume control and in a terminal type:
Then try pulseaudio volume control again.
In my experience various distros on the forum seem to run into permission issues due to them running as root, I think, but nevertheless I encounter this type of thing from time to time, and re-starting pulse audio seems to clear it up.
I don't use easy OS so I can't really speak to the particular problem you're having, but the above step may save you having to restart X.
