I was trying to get bluetooth working and ended up really frustrated and just played with every option remotely close to audio/bluetooth. Sadly, bluetooth still wasn't working propertly (got the output into the buds but not the mic audio input) and now I don't have regular speaker audio anymore.

here's the pactl list output
