Ubuntu 18.04 | pulseaudio Daemon startup failed

Upon restarting pulseaudio in the terminal by using pulseaudio -k and then pulseaudio --start I receive the following output.



E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.



When typing pulseaudio -vvv I receive the following output.

Is there a way where I can get pulseaudio to start back up again?
