I resolved this issue similar to @jazz1138

I did a little research and it appears the issue is a known/documented bug in pulseaudio

Enable Desktop via Big Picture Settings and then Exit > Return to Desktop. Then bring up a terminal and set your password if you haven't already,

passwd
 sudo su
Verify your the kernel drive sees your cards

 cat /proc/asound/cards
 lspci
 cat /proc/asound/cardX
If so then you can proceed

 cd /etc/modprobe.d/
 ls -al
Create snd-hda-intel.conf if it isn't already there

 nano snd-hda-intel.conf

Place the following in the file,

options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0xa,-1
 rm -rf /home/steam/.pulse
 rm -rf /home/desktop/.pulse
 reboot
Sound should be working.
