No problem here, either. Whenever I have had a problem with sound, it isn't pulse, it's something muted in alsamixer.
What I would suggest is going into his bios, turn the onboard audio OFF, and use just a pair of USB headphones with mike ...just for ducks and see if the problem goes away. Stupidly I blew out my onboard ethernet when hot plugging in a monitor. Just maybe Peter's onboard sound chip went south.
The only way to tell is to turn it off and see if alsa recovers with just a USB sound device to contend with. That is a harmless enough test of concept. Use pavucontrol to set it to USB sound device, analog stereo speakers and mono mike source, after opening alsamixer to insure the device isn't muted in some fashion. :) Ric
