This is a similar problem to this post but I was unable to add to the comments since I am new to StackExchange. I tried the answer posted by Vishesh but it didn't solve the issue for me; when I run start-pulseaudio-x11 command it still says "Failure: Module initialization failed". However, the sound works for all my other applications (VLC, Rhythmbox, web-based audio such as YouTube and SoundCloud). I have not tried the solution posted by Vikas as I wasn't sure whether it would impact my applications that do have audio output.
The problem started when I switched my audio output to HDMI; I had plugged my computer into my TV.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

The pavucontrol solution worked for me.... for no apparent reason spotify was muted. I just hit unmute and I started to hear the music. The funny thing is... I had closed spotify.... I can see it in the process list but the spotify app is not on my desktop...

Yes, I experienced a similar problem today but not just with Spotify.
In my case, no application was able to play the sound.
Only system sounds were coming.
This occured after I had plugged my laptop to my TV using HDMI cable and then unplugged it.
This is how I solved it.
- Connect your PC back to the Device using HDMI port
- Go to display and mirror the screens
- Go to settings>sound.
- Change the audio output to the HDMI device
- Change the audio output back to the laptop/PC
- Go to display and switch back to your laptop screen
- Unplug the HDMI cable
