No sound on Kubuntu 20.10 / Dummy Output, No audio devices showing

Question

I've been having this reoccurring issue where the sound doesn't work on Kubuntu. It shows on the Sound icon a slash through it and it says there's "Dummy Output" with none of my sound devices showing.

When I connect my Bluetooth headphones it does have sound through those, just not anything else.

How do i fix this?

EDIT: To fix this what I did was kill PulseAudio & just restart it with these commands. Works perfectly now.

pulseaudio --kill
pulseaudio --start
